The fast expansion of retail branch stores puts a strain on ITs limited network budgets and human staff. As a result, IT infrastructure construction requires:

• Fast deployment to make optimal use of IT’s human resources
• A simple network architecture with integrated equipment that will save on hardware investments
• No interference among different types of business features when they run simultaneously
• Secure connections between branch stores and headquarters

To cope with these challenges, Huawei offers a store-box solution for the IT infrastructure of small- and medium-sized chain stores.

The Store-box uses Huawei AR G3 integrated access device, including the following features:

• Support the business processing of POS, office, voice, video surveillance, etc
• Support fixed as well as mobile access of 3G\4G
• Support VPN access of both stores and headquarter, ensuring the data security during transmission
• Support WiFi, provide wireless coverage for stores
• Automatic configuration, including automatic creation of configuration file and automatic downloading, shorten the configuring time to as low as 10 minutes, save cost by more than 90%

Typical Configuration:

1. Store-box, single device, multifunction

With a multi-core CPU, different cores simultaneously handle various tasks, resulting in high performance.

A hardware-enabled non-blocking switch simultaneously forwards data in multiple directions.

Performance is not compromised even if all functions are being used.

2. Facilitate massive deployment, save IT human workforce

A configuration file is made in headquarters, then delivered to a new site via FTP or disk, which results in fast deployment and reduces IT staff work time.
