Internet connectivity is mission-critical for today’s retailer, and any second of downtime is money lost and boasts potential for a poor customer service experience at the POS.

Luckily, there are strategies and technologies that can help ensure consistent and always-on Internet access, and as one retailer shares having a solid strategy in place can not only ensure a good customer experience but also save money for the business operation.

In a one-hour webinar presentation Sandeep Chawla, VP of IT operations and architecture for the 99 Cents Only Stores brand, discussed how and why he integrated wireless technology into the day-to-day operations as well as the failover scenario. He also provided real-life insight on how he's making sure the chain of retail stores doesn’t drop the connection during the POS and is helping save money when it comes to launching new stores.

In addition to Chawla's insight,  an exec at Sierra Wireless, Brian Anderson, VP of product marketing, and Accel Networks CEO Mark Gianinni provided valuable tips and advice on risks and costs associated with potential network outages, why a broadband cellular failover solution is a viable option and what features to investigate in such technology.
