How P.C. Solutions Keeps Retailers Running with 4G LTE Failover

At P.C. Solutions, we understand how critical connectivity is to retail operations. Your point-of-sale systems, inventory tools, and customer experiences all rely on a solid internet connection — and when that connection fails, business grinds to a halt. That’s why we’re proud to offer 4G LTE failover solutions that help ensure your stores stay online, even when your primary internet doesn’t.

The Problem: Retail Can’t Afford Downtime

Imagine this: it’s a busy Saturday, your store is packed, sales are flowing — and then your wired internet connection suddenly goes down. Transactions stop. Loyalty programs don’t sync. You can’t process returns or even look up product info. For multi-location retailers, these outages aren’t just frustrating — they’re costly.

The reality is that most wired failover systems follow the same physical route as your main connection. If there’s a cut or outage in the last mile — and 90% of the time, that’s where it happens — both lines go down. You’re left scrambling.

“90% of issues with land-line disruptions are in the last mile, so when your primary land-line goes down, chances are that your secondary land-line — the one you’re using for redundancy — will go down too.”

Systems Administrator, Blinds to Go

Even worse, router issues can lock up your entire network. A misconfiguration or hardware glitch might leave your router unreachable, with no way to fix it remotely. That often means calling in a technician, waiting hours (or longer), and losing valuable sales in the meantime.

The Solution: LTE Failover and Remote Access, Built for Retail

That’s where our 4G LTE failover solution comes in. Instead of relying on another wired line, we use a wireless LTE connection — completely separate from your existing infrastructure. When your primary internet drops, your network traffic automatically reroutes over LTE. It’s fast, seamless, and your customers never know the difference.

Today’s LTE speeds are more than capable of handling retail traffic — including credit card processing, cloud-based POS, and inventory syncs. We work with industry leaders like Cradlepoint to deliver reliable, business-grade LTE adapters that give you true network redundancy.

Remote Management That Saves Time and Money

In addition to failover, our solution includes Out-of-Band Management (OOBM). This means our support team — or your IT team — can remotely access and troubleshoot routers even when they’re offline. Through a secure LTE connection and a simple console port, we can fix most router issues without ever stepping foot in your store.

That means faster resolution, and less downtime. For our retail clients, that kind of flexibility is a game-changer.
