Primary and Failover Connectivity for Retail - KORE

As retail becomes more digitized—with point-to-point encrypted (P2PE) payments, cloud-based POS systems, digital signage, and video analytics—the demand for high-performance, reliable, and secure connectivity is greater than ever. Traditional wired broadband services are often expensive, slow to deploy, and prone to outages, leading to operational disruptions that cost time, money, and customer trust. Worse still, legacy failover systems often lack the bandwidth or responsiveness to keep critical applications running during downtime.

KORE’s Business Internet solution solves these challenges by offering primary and failover connectivity using cellular networks. Whether for a flagship store, pop-up shop, or remote branch, retailers gain peace of mind knowing that mission-critical systems like payments, employee timekeeping, and loyalty programs stay online regardless of network conditions.

This plug-and-play solution includes preconfigured 4G/5G routers from leading hardware vendors, with flexible data plans and carrier options optimized for retail environments. It’s also designed to support bandwidth-intensive technologies like in-store video surveillance and mobile app engagement tools—ensuring both operational continuity and superior customer experience.

Beyond failover, retailers can use KORE connectivity as a primary network or for network augmentation, separating critical business apps from high-usage services like guest Wi-Fi. With simple deployment, no technical expertise required, and a single partner for hardware, service, and support, KORE delivers true “always-on” internet tailored to the demands of modern retail.
