It does not matter what technological advances are being pursued, a sound network infrastructure is needed to meet these ever-changing demands, while allowing for future expansion and growth. ADTRAN has the solution.
ADTRAN’s reliable, low-cost Internetworking solutions allow you to cost-effectively deploy mass locations, plan for network mishaps and downtime, protect your network from malicious activities or cyber attacks, and consolidate voice, data, and video at a reduced telecommunication cost. Whether your main goal is to implement a state-of-the-art "thin client" Point-of-Sale (POS) system, build your own customer relationship database, implement inventory control mechanisms integrated with distribution centers, or allow employee e-learning for a consistent product and service, a sound network infrastructure is essential. With an 18-year history of success and market leadership in the telecommunications industry, ADTRAN is a vendor you can trust.
Backup Office Connectivity
With NetVanta, retailers can create a modern LAN to WAN Internetworking solution. The NetVanta 3000 Series of IP access routers supports WAN connectivity for Internet, public and private Frame Relay, Virtual Private Networks, and leased-line networks. These devices come with a stateful inspection firewall, Quality of Service, built-in DSU/CSU, DHCP and NAT, and options for DSX, VPN, and disaster recovery. The NetVanta 1000 Series of managed Ethernet switches offers non-blocking Layer 2 switching capabilities, Virtual LAN functionality, Link Aggregation, web-based configuration, and remote management for connecting all in-store, network-ready devices like personal computers, Point-of-Sale (POS) terminals, and kiosks.
Business Continuity
Business continuity is critical to ensure a pleasant shopping experience for customers and eliminate the possibility of lost revenue. In the event of the primary WAN circuit going down, The NetVanta 3000 Series can guarantee bandwidth for credit card transactions and inventory management by dialing around the failed connection. NetVanta routers offer faster network restoral based on automatic performance monitoring and problem detection. These devices can be managed remotely, which eliminates the need for regional technical expertise.
Network Security and Remote Access
The NetVanta 2000 Series of VPN/Firewall devices offers secure, low-cost connectivity across the Internet. These products connect mobile users, remote offices, and large central sites to corporate network resources. The NetVanta 2000 Series features IPSec VPN tunneling, DES/3DES/AES encryption, access policies, stateful inspection firewall, internal router, cyber assault protection, Network Address Translation, and authenticated remote user access.
Distance Learning and Videoconferencing
The ATLAS Video Switch Series addresses the need for distance learning and remote conferencing. It enables multiple videoconferencing systems to share WAN access and bandwidth, which reduces dedicated circuits and lowers communication costs. To further streamline the network, bandwidth unused by videoconferencing is available for other voice and data applications supported by ATLAS.
Integrated Access – Voice/Data Consolidation
Retailers can better utilize private line access and networks with ADTRAN IADs. These IADs consolidate multiple access lines into a common T1 or DSL circuit. They streamline networks and lower costs by converging voice, data, video, and Internet traffic. Sites with complex voice and data networks benefit from ATLAS IADs. ATLAS consolidates circuits and integrates legacy communications equipment. ATLAS converts ISDN PRI from the public network into legacy, T1-based PBX/KTS in order to take advantage of PRI without the upgrade costs. ATLAS offers least cost routing, 10-digit number substitution, and call-by-call routing.
