ChargeItSpot Keeps Its Kiosks Connected with Cradlepoint
Cradlepoint, the global leader in cloud-based
network solutions for connecting people, places, and things over wired
and wireless broadband, announced today that ChargeItSpot is
utilizing Cradlepoint to connect its phone charging stations for
retailers, malls, arenas, hospitals and casinos. With Cradlepoint,
ChargeItSpot can ensure every kiosk is secure and connectivity is always
on, regardless of where it is located.
The businesses that leverage ChargeItSpot, like Neiman Marcus,
Nordstrom, Under Armour, and Caesars Entertainment, rely on the kiosks
to drive brand awareness and revenue. In fact, in retail stores in
particular, a study conducted by GfK showed ChargeItSpot users shop for
twice as long, convert to a higher rate, and ultimately spend more
dollars at the register.
By leveraging Cradlepoint's COR series, every ChargeItSpot kiosk has
trustworthy connectivity to ensure customer phones remain safely
charging while they stay in the store to shop. The Cradlepoint solutions
also provide secure, reliable VPN functionality to keep data safe as it
travels to and from these widely dispersed kiosks on an entirely
separate ChargeItSpot network. This allows the store or venue's network
to be virtually untouched.
"Our biggest hurdle was providing the connectivity necessary to power
the key applications running in our kiosks without connecting through
our clients' internal networks. Ultimately we went with Cradlepoint
because its solutions are durable, secure, and provide the connectivity
we need at anytime, anywhere," said Robert Kay, senior vice president of
operations, ChargeItSpot. "The flexibility of Cradlepoint is simply
unmatched, as it can work off the 4G LTE (News - Alert) network or even a wired
connection if there is interference in the area. We never have to orry
about a kiosk going offline because of a connectivity issue."
"Cradlepoint is committed to providing secure, reliable, and scalable
solutions that make connectivity simple. For businesses like
ChargeItSpot, that means having remote connectivity that can reach the
right location for a retailer while also eliminating security risks,"
said Ian Pennell, chief marketing officer at Cradlepoint. "Whether we
are connecting a branding platform in a shop or a mobile charging
station at a football stadium, Cradlepoint solutions are powerful
connectivity tools that enable businesses to do more with less. We
ensure that connections work when and where they are needed so our
customers can worry less about their networks and can stay focused on
meeting their business goals."
