Businesses use kiosks to make their services easier to access. System integrators and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) build these kiosks with devices and applications including payment processing, video cameras, digital signage, and more. All of these require mobile connectivity, in case the kiosk needs to be moved. But space is limited, so the solution needs to be really small while also supporting multiple layers of enterprise-grade network security options and being manageable from anywhere. It’s a rare combination.
Use compact, ruggedized Ericsson Cradlepoint routers with zero trust networking to enable secure, reliable connectivity in kiosks, regardless of the location and climate. With Ericsson NetCloud ZTNA, organizations also can extend secure remote access to third parties and employees on an invitation-only basis. This type of right-sized access prevents unwanted lateral movement within the network.
With an embedded cellular modem and support for wired broadband and satellite, Ericsson Cradlepoint IoT routers provide the flexibility to keep kiosk applications running 24/7 in any location. End users can quickly set up new kiosks or move existing ones with confidence that the network will always maximize their ability to serve customers.
Using Ericsson NetCloud Secure Connect instead of traditional VPNs allows organizations to establish encrypted tunnels with a “never trust, always verify” approach. This foundational zero trust model prevents lateral movement to other parts of the network and can easily be extended to authorized, authenticated users for specific resources via Ericsson NetCloud ZTNA.
Ericsson NetCloud Manager and its robust, user-friendly dashboards give IT teams the cloud-based visibility they need to remotely monitor signal strength, latency, network security, and more. When an issue arises, the team can diagnose and often fix the problem remotely, without a truck roll. NetCloud’s GenAI-based virtual expert and AIOps features are taking management efficiency further than ever.
