Zifilink aids Hindustan Petroleum With
Internet Connectivity
About 2000+ company owned and company operated petrol bunks dot highways across India. These locations lacked wireline Internet, they employ VSAT based communication to connect with their headquarters in Mumbai.
There are over 2000 company-owned and operated petrol bunks dotting the major highways of India. Understandably, these petrol stations are highly reliant on internet connectivity for their daily operations. However, real-time information retrieval and data transfer had always been a problem with these petrol bunks. To solve this, the government deployed a VSAT communication system to facilitate real-time communication and data transfer. Still, the costs and often unsatisfactory speeds of VSAT outweigh its benefits.
While the petrol bunks did have access to a better mode of communication and data transfer via VSAT, most complained that the costs were too high and the resultant speeds were not that up to the mark.
This is when Zifilink stepped into the scene. With link aggregation devices and systems that are designed to provide seamlessly high-speed internet in any location, Zifilink was able to deploy its services in two of these bunks and the results were highly satisfying.
The main problems that Zifilink solved in this scenario were the high costs of using VSAT communication, and the unreliable network connectivity of the same. Today, with Zifilink’s internet bonding services, these petrol bunks have been able to significantly reduce the costs of their daily operation, while enjoying swift transactions, data transfers, and overall business operations.
Challenges
Petrol bunks across India face 4 major challenges:
- Reliable internet connectivity 24/7.
- A desirably high-speed internet connection for fast and easy business operations
- Slow servers that result in troublesome transaction experiences.
- High costs of VSAT communication.
Solution
Zifilink’s internet bonding router, which is significantly inexpensive as compared to VSAT, was able to reduce the operational costs of 2 of these petrol bunks. Besides, we were able to boost their internet speeds exponentially. With connection back up, these petrol pumps enjoy unhindered business operations even during a connection failover.
Thus, with one device, Zifilink eliminated 4 major challenges related to internet connectivity and communication speeds. This meant that the petrol bunks gained an upgrade at a lower cost. Today, Zifilink still proudly serves these petrol bunks to bring them high-speed internet connection and seamless business operations.
