365 Retail Markets reaches wireless milestone with OptConnect

October 6, 2017

OptConnect Managed Wireless Solutions has reached a milestone with partner 365 Retail Markets, a provider of micro markets, according to a press release.

In fewer than 18 months, 365 Retail Markets has connected over 5,000 OptConnect cellular units in micro market applications across the United States.  

"With industry leading hardware and software solutions, it is no wonder they continue to grow so quickly," Chris Baird, president of OptConnect Wireless Solutions, said in the press release. "We are excited to be a part of that growth."

Micro markets require a reliable communications channel in order to monitor performance and operations of the kiosk. The need to install a new line can add delays and expense to micro market installations. OptConnect Managed Wireless Solutions allows new devices to be deployed rapidly, without any need to connect to the location's existing network connection. This helps to ensure a more reliable network with improved uptime and security without the IT hassle.

"OptConnect has been a perfect companion offering to our micro market hardware and software," said Joe Hessling, founder and CEO of 365 Retail Markets. "Hard-wired internet connections are costly and a pain to set up and manage, with OptConnect operators can be connected and operational in a matter of minutes, serving customers and making sales more quickly than ever before."
