Background

The growing demand for auto-vending terminals faces limitations due to fixed-line network infrastructure, which restricts deployment flexibility. WLINK’s 4G/3G cellular routers integrated into vending machines enable secure, wireless data transfer between machines and central servers. This solution eliminates wired network dependencies, allowing deployment in challenging locations while enhancing operational efficiency and market reach.

With the wirelessly technology, it allows you to place the vending machines as many location as possible, including the site where is difficult to provision with fixed wire communication, helps retailers increase market presence, and enables the operator monitors the correct function, sales/stock level, remote control of the vending machine by wireless.
