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.
