Why Teldat?

Teldat was, in fact, the only manufacturer able to provide a remote reboot solution for ATMs: a solution backed by the company’s extensive experience in ATM connectivity and excellent reputation in the sector and in the Latin American market.  

Moreover, two different tests were carried out:  one over real ATMs to check the solution’s suitability to all scenarios, and the second, to adjust said solution to each carrier’s architecture. Teldat’s achievement in both tests successfully met 5B’s expectations.

Challenge

5B connects its ATMs via 3 different carriers, thus operating on three different fronts. In addition to the carriers, 5B operates two types of ATMs: standalones in shopping centers, airports and stations, etc., and ATMs, physically located in the serviced bank entities.

5B’s main obstacle was the high cost of call outs. Their ATM park is widely scattered throughout the country and often requires a physical presence to unblock or reboot an ATM, for example. 

The core of the solution was for 5B to improve vital service availability, thus ensuring customers received continuous and consistent ATM services. Providing ground connectivity was crucial, but adding mobile connectivity as a back-up option was necessary too.  

In short, 5B wanted a solution to deliver a stable service and to monitor and control power over remote ATMs.  This translates into cost savings and improved service image for their end users.

Solution

Teldat’s solution was to set up Teldat-V and Teldat-M1 routers, with MTC+, in 5B’s remote ATMs. These devices are capable of providing the necessary ground and mobile (3G/4G/LTE) coverage.  Moreover, having a power control option means ATMs can be remotely restarted (if blocked, for example) and the monitoring capabilities help understand any breakdowns.  The MTC+ module performs control tasks via consoles or SNMP.

Teldat’s Teldat-V and Teldat-M1 administer continual connectivity to the machines, with 3G/4G/LTE backup. The MTC+, with its 24/7 remote monitoring and ability to reboot blocked ATMs, eliminates site visits. Furthermore, the use of mobile connectivity (as backup) provides robustness, reliability and stability.

Due to the three carriers’ individual requirements and specifications, 80% of the ATMs have a Teldat-V with an MTC+, while the other 20% have the Teldat-M1.

The MTC+ doesn’t require an Ethernet connection (or consume infrastructure resources), as it uses the router’s connectivity. Furthermore, it doesn’t use addition IPs, making it a highly reliable and unhackable device.
