Smart Locker Connectivity Management
Reliable Connectivity for Intelligent Mail Receptacles
The Challenge
Unreliable Connectivity Options at Locker Sites
The main selling point of smart lockers is their 24/7/365 availability. For this reason, frequent outages cause customers to cease using them, as they become less convenient. Maintaining a consistent Wi-Fi connection presents a challenge to many global mail companies offering smart lockers to their
customers.
In the past, each locker site required signing on with local internet providers, which was not only difficult to coordinate, but hard to manage operationally and fiscally. In other instances they utilized Wi-Fi connections available from business or facility owners, but it presented a fairly serious security concern, as the data over these networks is not always encrypted.
Solution Overview
Smart Connectivity and Management with AirLink
Some organizations initially attempted to leverage RFID and IoT technology for their smart lockers. But limited coverage from partner networks meant they needed different SIMs and arrangements for each separate site with no backup options like cellular failover. Implementing Sierra Wireless AirLink RV50X routers and AirLink Management Services (ALMS) gives global mail and logistic operations a reliable multi-carrier solution for always-on connectivity.
With this solution from USAT, smart locker operators can troubleshoot outages and other issues from a single dashboard. Dual SIM functionality provides the flexibility companies need to provide the best customer experiences possible.
