Fiber Internet Deployment for Multi-Location Retail Chain
The challenge
National retail chain experienced slow, unreliable internet at store locations affecting point-of-sale systems, inventory management, and customer WiFi. Cable internet couldn't support growing bandwidth needs or provide adequate backup.
The solution
Conducted nationwide fiber availability assessment, identifying options at all 300 locations. Deployed fiber primary with wireless backup at each store. Implemented SD-WAN for centralized management and application prioritization. Negotiated volume discounts across footprint.
“We had connectivity problems at stores nationwide. Oqitor found fiber where we thought it didn't exist, negotiated amazing pricing, and coordinated installations across 300 locations. Store managers are thrilled with the performance improvement.”
