4 Reasons to Get Managed Connectivity for ATMs

It's no secret that ATMs perform multiple functions that heavily rely on their connectivity, but what does it really mean to have managed connectivity for ATMs? Being that ATMs interact with cash in various ways every single day, they perform better when a managed solutions provider is watching over them to make sure they are running at optimal efficiency. Their job is too important to be hindered by poor connectivity, which is why they need a managed solution to provide connectivity they can count on. Here are 5 reasons why your ATM needs managed connectivity. 1. Support. Managed connectivity through OptConnect gives you access to 24x7 support. This support means that if your machine goes down at 3am you'll always have someone to call. Day or night, you can rely on a team of connectivity specialists to get you back up and running in no time. When deciding upon a wireless provider, knowing what their support hours are is crucial. 2. Customer Dashboards. OptConnect gives customers access to a robust online dashboard where they can view their devices, check the health of those devices, see real-time signal strength, restart devices remotely, and much much more. Access to this data improves the operator's ability to keep their ATMs online and understand exactly how each machine is working. Rather than having to physically visit each location to check on a device, you can do so from the comfort of your office, home or anywhere you have access to the internet from your mobile or desktop computer. Not all customer dashboards are created equal so make sure you understand what features and benefits are available to you. 3. Time Savings.
