Be secure, cost–effective and flexible in deployment
Thanks to significant cost savings, financial institutions are shifting from traditional leased lines to wireless cellular connectivity—yet many are hesitant to move to a public wireless network due to security concerns. Despite the safety characteristics of VPNs used to transmit data from ATM to transaction processors, most financial institutions are not completely comfortable with carrying sensitive customer information over a wireless network.

As with ATMs, kiosks face constraints due to the high cost and inflexibility of wire line connectivity. To be effective, kiosks must be deployed in high traffic areas for public use—and AirJack™ provides the secure wireless connection necessary to do so.

Enhanced security
AirJack covers security on two fronts. First, Contour’s cellular network is private, thereby avoiding the exposure common with public wireless networks. And AirJack™ incorporates Contour’s patented Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) to ensure that recon efforts, address spoofs, injection attacks, denial–of–service attacks, and other threats can’t lead to data theft.

By eliminating security concerns, AirJack lets organizations take full advantage of the benefits provides by wireless connectivity—including reduced cost, flexibility in deployment, and decreased turn–up times.

Flexible deployment
Ordering and provisioning of broadband wire line circuits requires significant planning and project management. To counter that inconvenience and cost, AirJack™ provides a scalable solution that puts the owner in charge instead of being handcuffed by teleco deployment schedules.

Because AirJack’s cellular gateway router enables nationwide geographical disbursement, you can place your ATMs and kiosks where your customers are rather than where the telecommunications companies are. There’s also no need to wait for a carrier to put in a phone line or other wired connectivity means.

Customized billing
Our customized billing and packaging solutions provide ATM and kiosk operators additional deployment options while reducing high network costs. Through proprietary technology from Contour Networks, you can access a secure private cellular network anywhere in the country—with minimal cost for minimal usage and a value price in every case.
