Wavetel Cellular Router for Bank ATM Machine Networking Solution

Overview:

ATM network architectures are based on a standard client/server model. An ATM Router is used by financial institutions to route transactions between remote ATM Clients and core banking systems. ATM Clients provide the user interface/local functionality to generate requests to the server. ATMs are located in many venues and need to rely on the local communications infrastructure to provide IP connectivity to the centralized ATM Server. Local communications infrastructure may be comprised of a variety of technologies including wired terrestrial (e.g. cable, DSL, leased lines) and wireless terrestrial (e.g. 3G/4G cellular).

Challenge:

Common ATM problems can significantly impact the banking experience for customers, leading to delays, frustration, and even security concerns. 

1. Network Reliability – ATM transactions must be processed in real time, requiring continuous uptime even during primary network failures.

2. Security – Financial transactions demand data security.

3. Locations – ATMs  could be deployed in locations with limited wired network access.

4. Maintenance – Maintenance costs must be minimized for large-scale deployments.

Solution:

Wavetel’s Cellular Router addresses these challenges with:

• Private APN LTE Network Deployment – Ensures dedicated, secure connectivity across the regular LTE network and fast implementation than using VSAT technology.

• Dual Sim for failover – Wavetel router will automatically switch to the other SIM in case one fails so that the ATM remains online and functional.

• Low latency - with the support of LTE network infrastructure, allowing traffic to flow under 100ms, better than VSAT Technology.

• Industrial-Grade Durability – Resists extreme temperatures, shocks, and dust for reliable operation.

• Wavetel has many vpn protocols - that support data security during financial transactions.

✔ GRE Protocol : GRE encapsulates one protocol inside another protocol.

✔ IPSEC Protocol : IPSec provides security for IP packets.

• Remote Management  – Allows IT teams to monitor and configure devices without on-site visits.

Benefit:

✅ Reliability – Dual SIM for failover to ensure the continuous uptime.

✅  Security – Private APN and  Encrypted VPN tunnels to ensure data security.

✅ Cost-Effective  – Eliminates dependency on expensive leased lines and reduce maintenance cost by use of remote management.

The Wavetel WR143 Cellular Router provides banks with a secure, always-on networking backbone for ATM operations, combining enterprise-grade VPN security with cellular failover to ensure seamless financial transactions.
