The Evolving Landscape of ATM Challenges
The Automated Teller Machine (ATM) landscape is undergoing a significant transformation. The need for reliable, secure, and cost-effective connectivity has never been more critical.
Traditional solutions, such as VSAT , are proving to be increasingly inadequate, due to high costs, security vulnerabilities, and single-link uptime issues. The surge in UPI transactions and the proliferation of AEPS-enabled micro-ATMs are further intensifying these challenges, impacting the operational efficiency and profitability of Managed Service Providers (MSPs). Cnergee recognizes these pain points and provides a comprehensive solution to revolutionize ATM infrastructure.
Cnergee’s Innovative Solution
At Cnergee, we understand that the challenges faced by MSPs in the ATM sector are multifaceted. Our approach is to provide a solution that not only addresses the immediate connectivity issues but also enhances overall profitability and competitiveness. We have developed a secure networking solution that results in 70% lower CAPEX and more than 50% reduction in OPEX. This is not just about cutting costs; it’s about building a robust, future-proof infrastructure.
Our solution offers several key benefits:
● Elimination of Physical Infrastructure: We eliminate the need for bulky antennae and monkey cages, resulting in considerable savings on rent and infrastructure costs.
● Enhanced Uptime: Our dual-SIM-based redundant connectivity ensures maximum uptime, thereby eliminating SLA penalties. This redundancy also extends to power outage monitoring, ensuring that ATMs remain operational even during power failures.
● Unparalleled Security: Our security architecture includes no local GUI, rotating keys, and AES 256 encryption, thereby preventing social engineering attacks and ensuring that sensitive data remains protected. This approach minimizes vulnerabilities and provides a secure environment for ATM transactions.
● Rapid Data Retrieval: With our M2M SIM capabilities and high-speed network connections, Electronic Journal (EJ) pulling is significantly faster, which facilitates efficient auditing and reconciliation processes.
● True WAN Aggregation: Our patented PMTA technology (Packet-based Multi-session Tunnel Aggregation) provides genuine WAN aggregation, combining multiple links for enhanced performance and reliability.
Successful Proof of Concept
We recently completed a successful Proof of Concept (POC) with a major banking client, which demonstrated the effectiveness of our solution in a real-world environment. The tests included:
● ATM to EJ Server Reachability: Successfully establishing secure and reliable connections between ATMs and EJ servers.
● Basic EJ Pull Test: Validating the efficient transfer of EJ data.
● High Data Throughput Testing: Transferring a 15 MB EJ file in under 50 seconds. This showcases the solution’s ability to handle large files swiftly and efficiently.
● ATM Camera Feed Testing: Seamlessly integrating and testing ATM camera feeds using motion detection, which enhances security monitoring.
● Windows Patch Updates: Successfully completing a 700 MB Windows patch update on ATMs in less than 50 seconds. This highlights our system’s capability to facilitate essential software updates quickly and without disruption.
The Cnergee Advantage
Our solution offers the following tangible results:
● High-Speed Connectivity: 4-8 Mbps speeds for rapid EJ pulling, software updates, and enhanced customer experience.
● 100% Uptime: Redundant SIMs, and power outage monitoring ensure uninterrupted services.
● Cost Efficiency: Significantly lower CAPEX and OPEX, resulting in enhanced profitability for MSPs.
Cnergee is committed to transforming ATM infrastructure, by providing secure, stable, and economical connectivity solutions. Our approach combines innovation with robust security, offering a reliable solution for the challenges of modern ATM operations.
