Retailer Network Challenges
One of Australia’s fastest growing fashion retailers was experiencing poor internet connectivity causing lost sales across stores. This connectivity issue caused breakdown of EFTPOS, no way to view stock availability, and no access to alarm and security systems. They were looking or a solution that allows 24/7 access to their cloud-based infrastructure.
ActivePort NFV & SD-Internet Solution
ActivePort designed a solution with SD-Internet with 4G failover & Firewall NFV which was implemented as all their OSS & BSS systems are available online. A Firewall NFV was deployed at each site to allow remote access to the digital alarm system and cameras.
Retail Group Outcome & Success
