β€ŽοΈβ€πŸ”₯ Hot Highlights from NRF 2024: Effective Hardware and New Managed Connectivity Offerings

Ventus was delighted to participate in NRF Retail's Big Show 2024, in booth #6405, held recently in New York. The event served as a dynamic platform for industry leaders to converge, exchange ideas, and unveil groundbreaking innovations in the retail sector. As an exhibitor, Ventus showcased its cutting-edge solutions aimed at providing connectivity to the retail landscape.

At the show, attendees had the opportunity to witness firsthand the future of retail connectivity. One of the highlights was our demonstration that featured the use of our VRB842 Remote Power Reboot router. The router, in this scenario, was used as the power source for the unit. We demonstrated the effectiveness of the VRB842's functionality by remote rebooting the 'fire' in this Smokeless Solo Stove! Each one of our booth staff had access to our Genesis mobile app where they could reboot the VRB842, which would disable the wind-powered fabric flame, and restart it again illustrating the remote reboot functionality.

While it was the demonstration certainly provided a representation of the router's functionality, it did not however efficiently toast Chris Spearing's, Director of Sales at Ventus, (seen in the video here to the right) marshmallows, sadly.Β Β 

Our VRB Remote Power Reboot router and SOLO Stove pairing stole the spotlight. This all-in-one 4G LTE router offers unparalleled functionality, allowing retailers to remotely power reboot any device, ensuring seamless operations even in the face of technical glitches. With dual SIM cellular router capabilities, two Ethernet ports, and two 10A power outlets, the VRB842 empowers retailers to control, restart, and cycle power supply for critical devices such as ATMs, digital signs, kiosks, and more.

One of the key advantages of the VRB842 is its ability to eliminate the need for on-site technician visits for routine maintenance tasks like device reboots. By enabling remote power management, the VRB842 not only saves on service call fees but also minimizes downtime and enhances overall productivity.

Moreover, the VRB842 seamlessly integrates with the Ventus Genesis monitoring platform, providing retailers with centralized oversight and control of their network infrastructure. Its plug-and-play deployment, pre-configured network solution, and failover network support make it a versatile and indispensable asset for retail establishments of all sizes.

The VRB842 Remote Power Reboot Router is revolutionizing the retail industry by offering a comprehensive solution to address connectivity and device management challenges. Its robust features and user-friendly interface empower retailers to stay ahead in an increasingly competitive market.
