System Solutions for Retail Store Network Infrastructure

Retailers globally increasingly rely on technology to keep their customers connected, engaged and secure in physical store settings. Mobility has transformed the shopping experience, enabling retailers to engage store visitors and drive revenue with more personalized in-store customer service.

Like other open spaces attracting large crowds, shopping centers and malls use WLAN access points for high-density Wi-Fi and LTE availability, along with IP surveillance cameras as part of the security systems to ensure crowd safety.

For network infrastructure in retail settings, Microsemi's Power over Ethernet (PoE) midspans provide an easy and cost effective way to install WLAN access points, POS terminals, IP security cameras, and access control devices with up to 60W of reliable, flexible power over existing Ethernet infrastructure. Accurate and precise network timing synchronization is also fundamental to implementing an IP video surveillance network. Microsemi is the leader in NTP servers, which connect to various potential sources of synchronization, including GPS inputs, and accurately distribute timing using the NTP protocol.

For service providers looking to increase network edge capacity and coverage to deliver advanced wireless services via public hotspots in retail settings, Microsemi provides complete timing systems for network time synchronization, and accurate time stamping across distributed systems. Microsemi’s time and synchronization solutions enable indoor and outdoor deployment wireless network deployment options and are ideal for multiple applications, such as small cells for high-density LTE coverage and wireless backhaul.
