Changing the Retail Landscape
Wireless networks are improving profit margins and customer experience for retailers at a rapid pace. Whether a big box chain of superstores or a single shop on the corner, wireless networking makes the retail business more efficient, more effective and more profitable.
Retailers around the world who demand high performance and reliability from their networks use Meru's Virtualized Wireless LAN architecture. The network supports mission-critical applications including point-of-sale systems, just-in-time supply chain management and warehouses filled with RFID tagged inventory, all while remaining highly secure to help retailers maintain PCI compliance. And the same wireless network that carries these can also extend to other applications including toll-quality voice and bandwidth-hungry video, scaling to new demands as needed.
