Guest Wi-Fi, conference events and back-of-house systems on one network, safely isolated from each other.
Forecourts run fuel pumps, convenience tills and back-office systems alongside public Wi-Fi, often on a single local connection shared with multiple co-located tenants and brands.
Any outage or bandwidth spike can knock card machines offline, halting fuel and convenience sales, while an unmanaged guest network risks exposing operational systems to the same footprint customers connect to, a growing concern as forecourt retail becomes a target for payment-focused cyberattacks.
Cloud Group works closely with its extensive partner network of IT professionals and resellers to deploy iShield, a next-generation Smart Access Unified Threat Management Device, across forecourt and convenience retail sites nationwide.
Micro-segmentation guarantees complete data isolation between the petrol station and its co-located fast-food partners, preventing lateral threat migration.
Dedicated traffic shaping ensures credit card terminals and digital POS systems process transactions instantly, eliminating long till queues even during peak travel periods.
Automated link failover protects the forecourt from localised internet outages, keeping fuel pumps, convenience stores and partner retailers online around the clock.
Controlled guest Wi-Fi networks provide travellers with stable, secure connectivity without allowing individual users to drain property-wide bandwidth.
Built-in identity logging and structured automated reports provide the documentation required to easily satisfy POPIA and PCI-DSS data safety audits.
Replacing a patchwork of unmanaged switches and basic routers with a unified solution lets IT partners troubleshoot remotely, minimising costly on-site visits.
