Hardware Upgrades for Banking Operations
Financial Institutions Prepare for Future with 5G
The cellular networks financial institutions use to transmit their secure client data are ever evolving. Because of this, the hardware enabling connections to those networks must evolve as well. As many carriers prepare to sunset their 3G networks, banks and credit unions are moving quickly to examine options to upgrade to 4G and beyond.
Challenges Faced
UPGRADING AGING DATA INFRASTRUCTURE
Financial institutions need solutions that enable near 100% uptime at all their branches to ensure client transactions happen without delay. Upgrading to hardware that delivers the fastest and most reliable internet connections are making this possible for banks and credit unions nationwide. While many of these organizations are transmitting data securely over hard T1 communications lines, they are also looking to install redundant systems that can operate over fast and secure 4G cellular networks in case those hardlines go down.
Router Solution
CRADLEPOINT E3000 BRANCH ROUTERS
Several credit unions within the USA have reached out to USAT to help them select new hardware that can be configured to work within their existing network infrastructure. They wanted to replace their existing T1 modems and 3G cellular routers with an all-in-one solution capable of utilizing their current fiber connections while also providing cellular failover. USAT was able to help them select the E3000 - enabling 4G speeds today with capabilities for 5G as those networks become available at individual branch locations.
Antenna Solution
POYNTING XPOL-2-5G ANTENNAS
With their new 4G routers, their client was also looking for a way to boost cellular coverage at each branch location. Just like the router solution, the new antennas would need to expand 4G connectivity today, and provide 5G capabilities once available at each branch. For that, USAT was able to recommend a variation of the Poynting XPOL-2-5G antenna, purpose-built to military specs and capable of withstanding harsh outdoor conditions.
Field-Tested Results
FASTER MORE RELIABLE CONNECTIVITY
USAT was not only able to help select and provision their new hardware through their extensive DevProv+ suite of services, but were able to custom cut and crimp the cabling to their exacting requirements, provide rapid on-site installation, and ongoing hardware support. Branches saw instant increases in connection speed and reliability, and also gained the ability for automated event reporting and over-the-air device registration, configuration, and management with their new NetCloud Branch plans.
Update: The 5G future of branch banking is here now. Enjoy 5G capabilities with Cradlepoint’s new MC400-5G routers.
