7-Eleven Canada Tech Tuneup

Radiant Communications upgrades retailer's data solutions

BURNABY, B.C. -- 7-Eleven Canada Inc. has completed the rollout of Radiant Communications Corp.'s data solutions nationwide. Radiant's fully managed VPN allows each store to process point-of-sale (POS) transactions four to five times faster than previously possible, the broadband solutions company said.

In addition, the network architecture enables other 7-Eleven applications such as prepaid and specialty cards to use the same network in a secure and separate environment.

This solution helps 7-Eleven serve customers faster and [image-nocss] more reliably with end-to-end security, always-on service and 24x7 technical support, Radiant Communications said.

7-Eleven Canada, headquartered in Burnaby, B.C., is a subsidiary of 7-Eleven Inc., Dallas.

Vancouver, B.C.-based Radiant Communications provides businesses with IP-based data communications services including what it said is the largest on-net DSL footprint across Canada, T1 and E10/E100 fiber broadband, MPLS, IPSec and SSL private networking. From its data centers in Toronto and Vancouver, it also delivers network-based Microsoft Exchange, email archiving, digital voice, credit/debit payment processing and disaster recovery services via VMware-powered grid computing facilities directly connected into customers private networks.

Separately, last month, Nokia announced the Canadian launch of the Nokia 2760 mobile phone. The handset will be available through the retail locations of the two Canadian Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNO)7-Eleven and Petro-Canada.
