POS Ready: Prioritize Checkout Traffic Automatically
In retail and chain-store environments, POS systems are mission-critical. A smooth transaction directly impacts customer experience and store revenue.
Yet many stores face the same issue: even with sufficient bandwidth, POS transactions slow down or fail during peak hours.
Traditional networks treat all traffic equally. When POS terminals share bandwidth with Wi-Fi, video surveillance, digital signage, and other devices, critical transaction traffic gets crowded out. The network works—it just doesn’t know what matters most.
How POS Ready Helps
POS Ready takes a different approach: it identifies which devices are POS terminals first, then protects their traffic consistently.
The system automatically recognizes POS devices (with manual tagging as an option), marks all traffic from these devices as mission-critical, and prioritizes it during network scheduling. When congestion hits, POS communications are protected first—significantly reducing transaction delays and failures.
This means reliable policies that don’t require complex rules or constant updates.
Simple to Enable
With the FWA12, enabling POS Ready takes just a few clicks. No IT expertise required.
Once activated, the policy works continuously without adjustment, adapting naturally to network fluctuations while keeping POS traffic protected.
When the network truly understands business priorities, POS transactions stay stable—even at the busiest moments. That’s what POS Ready delivers.
