OTTAWA -- Precidia Technologies Inc., a Canadian designer and manufacturer of Internet Protocol (IP) access devices, said that it has been selected by broadband provider Cybera Inc. to provide network connectivity to serial equipment in convenience stores.
Cybera will use a customized iPocket232 as part of Shell Oil Products U.S. CoolBand program. Coolband allows convenience store and petroleum retailers to consolidate a variety of store equipment on a single broadband network infrastructure.
Equipment connected by iPocket232 [image-nocss] to the broadband IP network provided by Cybera could range from payment processing terminals, such as Rubys, to tank monitors to video surveillance. The compact plug and play adapter, which works seamlessly on any broadband network, speeds point-of-sale (POS) transactions and reduces the cost of networking by implementing a single multi-application solution.
Houston-based Shell Oil Products US has approximately 10,000 stores in the United States. In addition, operators may use Coolband to connect stores that are not under the Shell brand. The iPocket232 was customized to the needs of Shell's operators as selected by Cybera to meet Shell's high security and reliability standards.
Cybera Inc., Nashville, Tenn., delivers high-speed, managed, private networking solutions to multi-site enterprise customers through its SmartNetwork architecture, managed on site.
