Commonly sought solutions

Each customer’s situation is unique but many of the solutions we deliver to our customers fall into the following categories. Your organisation may be looking for one of the following or you may have a completely new reason for requiring Vcomms' services.

Network migration to IP

Vcomms' Networks support many legacy protocols so Vistas work with virtually any ATM or POS terminal across low cost WAN and GPRS networks. You do not need to replace your valuable terminals to connect to new networks.

Cost reduction

Using wireless and IP technologies to extend the life of current terminals and deploy new terminals, Vcomms can reduce your connection, transaction and deployment costs. Communications costs can be reduced by up to 80%.

Security upgrade

Use 3DES encryption to secure all data from the edge of the network to the data centre, regardless of the carrier networks used. The use of our Front End Processors protects the network core and mutual authentication with the Vista ensures connection integrity to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks. Vcomms create trusted networks for ATM and EFTPOS with IP technology including cellular networks.

Financial network creation

For medium and large businesses, with varied experience in financial transaction networking, the technology and expertise provided by Vcomms make creating a reliable and secure network easy. Vcomms provide networks with protocol translation to support virtually all terminals, and concentration, redundancy and load sharing to meet the demanding performance needs of a financial network.

Performance improvement

Transport high volumes of transactions quickly with measurable performance and full network visibility using a highly reliable network of GPRS and/or TCP connections. With Vcomms, GPRS network round trip times are typically 1.2 seconds and 99% are less than 5 seconds. Both GPRS and IP connections have an option of an additional GRPS backup to increase network availability to 99.9%.
