Calculate your ROIModern retail requires modern infrastructure
Retailers are under increasing pressure to deliver smarter, faster, and more enjoyable shopping experiences across online, mobile, and in-store channels. That means agile operations, scalable infrastructure, and always-on connectivity across brick-and-mortar stores, warehouses, kiosks, and mobile environments.
Temporary locations and new sites are costly and time-consuming to connect
Retailers rely on pop-ups, seasonal stores, and mobile shops to reach customers fast. But getting wired internet installed can delay openings by weeks. Many retailers don’t realize that WWAN offers secure, day-one connectivity that scales with business needs.
Keep devices connected anywhere, without limits
Digital signage, kiosks, IoT sensors, and surveillance cameras don’t need to be tethered to a single location. With cellular and edge networking, retailers can place devices wherever they’re most effective, while staying secure, resilient, and always online.
Ericsson delivers reliable, secure 5G and wireless WAN (WWAN) solutions that make it easy for retailers to adapt and innovate without the wait.

Digital transformation of retail
Modern retail runs on connectivity. From day-one setup to long-term scalability, retail operations rely on flexible, secure networks to support evolving customer expectations. Whether it’s powering mobile stores, digital signage, or back-end systems, Ericsson delivers reliable wireless WAN solutions that keep every corner of your operation online, right from day one.
Day-1 connectivity
Ericsson Cradlepoint all-in-one cellular routers enable immediate network access on day one. Secure, primary cellular links give retailers the agility to open stores on schedule, with the flexibility to add wired backup later.
Temporary locations (Pop-ups, mobile stores)
No wiring? No problem. Plug-and-play routers can be set up in minutes, providing portable, instant, and reliable WAN connectivity for critical retail applications in temporary locations.
Business continuity/failover
Point-of-sale downtime = lost revenue. Maintain nonstop WAN uptime with cellular links and SD-WAN intelligence that ensure network traffic keeps flowing, 24x7.
Secure IoT
Digital signs, kiosks, and surveillance systems stay connected
through robust cellular, especially in places where wired options are unavailable.
In-store coverage
With over 80% of mobile data consumed indoors, reliable indoor 5G matters. Our neutral host solutions boost cellular signal for better in-store customer and staff experience.
Warehouse operations
Ericsson 5G Private Networks eliminate dead zones and handover issues, boosting productivity by 20% in dynamic, high-density warehouse environments.
The Valvoline Instant Oil Change locations run by franchisee Henley Enterprises implemented all-in-one hybrid WAN routers at their location to ensure reliable connectivity to support customers nationwide – diminishing downtime and improving efficiency.
