Membership systems and pay stations need a connection that does not drop.
An unattended pay station is an unattended computer
By the Telecom Agency advisory team
Pay stations take cards all day with nobody watching them. They sit on a network that also carries cameras, tunnel controllers and free Wi-Fi.
What a consultant changes
Telecom Agency separates and protects the payment equipment and adds a backup connection so memberships and payments keep working. The advisor sources security and connectivity together, and explains what the card rules require in ordinary language.
How Telecom Agency shops the market for car washes
- The advice
- An advisor recommends a protected network for pay stations, separate from cameras, controllers and guest Wi-Fi, with a backup connection for memberships and payments.
- The price
- Security and connectivity are quoted together for each site. Operators with several washes are priced as a group.
- The service
- The advisor checks the separation is still in place after equipment changes and is the contact when a site goes offline.
- No fee to you: providers pay the advisor
- Every provider compared, none favoured
- One contact for every carrier
- Reviews and support after the install
