No nonsense, just a solid, reliable network.
 
Solutions

Acumera's mission is to bring the benefits of broadband services to merchants, improving and economizing services through consolidation of separate inefficient services.

Networks Designed, Deployed, and Managed
We take networks from start to finish. If you are looking to design a multi-store network, Acumera can help. With our experience in robust and secure networks, we tailor a solution to your needs and take on the challenge of nationwide hardware installation at all your store locations, whether two or 2000. After your network is installed, status information for all locations is available on the web in real-time with our AcuVigil software. If any issues come up, our support staff is available 24/7 to ensure continous service.

Acumera's service, delivered and installed as a turnkey solution, involves: bringing broadband services to the merchant premises (or using existing broadband, if available), inserting a small box between the phone network, the broadband network, and the transaction terminal or POS system at the merchant premises; intercepting transaction phone calls locally, then securely sending the transaction over the broadband network instead of the phone network.

Our networks include:

  • Network design and numbering
  • Broadband provisioning
  • Equipment installation
  • WAN/LAN Security
  • VPN and network client routing policies
  • C-Store systems integration, including ATG data links
  • PCI compliance support
  • Web-based network managment with AcuVigil software
  • Ongoing network and carrier support

The bottom line: we get the job done, and you get peace of mind.

The Merchant Gateway

The foundation of Acumera's network management system starts with the Merchant Gateway. This single, simple, ruggedized device typically replaces 3 or 4 standard network devices. It provides a built-in DSL modem, connects to serial devices like automatic tank gauges as well as the the store LAN, it supports dial- and serial-to-IP with out-of-band diagnostics, and it can establish multiple VPN connections. Acumera's system replaces most telephone lines with a single broadband connection.

Rugged Hardware for Busy Environments
The Acumera Merchant Gateway device is constructed of a durable carbon fiber that is ruggedized to withstand temperature changes, accidental spills, lightning, and other tough conditions. The box is equipped with Ethernet, DSL, POS, and RS ports, as well as a backup phone-line jack.

Easy Installation
Merchant Gateway installation can be easily accomplished by computer savvy store personnel, or professional installation can be arranged anywhere in the United States. The unit is designed to be wall-mounted or mounted under and existing terminal.

AcuVigil Web Software

Acumera's AcuVigil web interface simplifies and speeds remote store support by providing status information on a company and store level. Instead of relying on the store staff to call with issues, Acumera and headquarters IT can proactively identify and resolve network outages and other issues. The complete status of the network is always visible to you; from anywhere you can get on the web.

Device Information in Real-Time
AcuVigil provides real-time color-coded status messages from each location. In addition, you can view key operational information from each of your network devices in real-time. For example, automatic tank gauge data can be routed via email, XML, or spreadsheet to fuel-management and maintenance departments. Similarly, PCI compliance data can be monitored and reported.
