Sarian Systems - Retail Solutions

Sarian routers are used by a large portfolio of discerning retailers worldwide. Our products are used by most of the petrol retailing industry in the UK in addition to supplying high street names such as ALDI, River Island, Early Learning Centre and SPAR. Our success in this sector is directly attributable to the simplicity of the solutions we provide, supported by low installation costs and the mission critical reliability Sarian is known for.

Primary Retail Networks
ADSL is becoming the network of choice for many retailers due to its low cost and high bandwidth which has the capability of supporting a wide range of functions including multiple VOIP calls, EPOS transactions, in-store radio and surveillance systems. In the event of ADSL failure, though, it is essential to keep core business functions (such as EPOS transactions) operational. Sarian offer ADSL routers with automated backup to ISDN or PSTN. Alternatively, we offer products with ADSL and wireless backup.

Sarian’s advanced wireless backup spans from GPRS to the very latest HSDPA network technology which offers broadband speeds and provides an almost undetectable difference in functionality in the event of LAN failure.
