Industry 03 / 06
Retail & hospitality.
A store that can’t take payments is closed, whatever the sign says. We build retail and hospitality networks that keep point of sale online, guests separated and new locations opening on schedule.
The challenge
What makes retail networks different.
- 01
Payments on a shared network
Card data has to be isolated from guest Wi-Fi, cameras and back-office devices to keep PCI scope small and auditable.
- 02
Dozens of sites, few technicians
Opening or refreshing a location can’t depend on flying an engineer out for every install.
- 03
Single points of failure
One broadband circuit going down at lunch rush costs real revenue.
Our approach
How we build it.
- PCI DSS cardholder segmentation
- Zero-touch branch rollouts
- LTE / 5G failover for POS
We standardize every location on a small set of templates: segments, SSIDs, firewall policy and failover. Appliances are pre-staged and ship ready to come online when plugged in, so a local contractor can complete the install.
Each site gets a primary circuit with LTE or 5G failover, and SD-WAN policy prioritizes payment and ordering traffic over everything else when bandwidth is tight.

ExploreQuestions
Common questions.
- Can you reduce our PCI scope?
- Segmentation is the main lever. Isolating cardholder systems keeps the rest of the network out of scope, which is a decision your QSA confirms.
- How fast can a new location go live?
- Once templates are in place, a site is mostly a matter of circuit lead times and a pre-staged kit.
- Do you provide guest Wi-Fi with a splash page?
- Yes. Guest networks are isolated and rate-limited, with captive portals where you need them.
