Reliable IoT Connectivity for Vending Machines

Q: How do you keep cashless payments running if there’s a network issue?

Our Multi-Carrier (Multi-IMSI) SIMs automatically switch across networks, so payments continue to process seamlessly even if one carrier experiences downtime. For sites using wired internet, we have an Internet Failover solution that provides automatic backup, keeping your vending machines online and transactions flowing without interruptions, even if the primary connectivity goes down.

Q: How quickly can we get our vending machines online with POND IoT?

Setup is fast and straightforward. Simply insert our Multi-Carrier SIM and you’re ready to go. For newer models with eSIM capability, activation is instant as well. And for vending machines without built-in cellular connectivity, we can provide a router with SIM slots to deliver reliable internet access with minimal setup time.

Q: Where can I see your data plans for vending?

POND IoT offers custom data plans tailored to your needs — based on machine count, data usage, and deployment locations. You only pay for what you actually need. Get in touch with our team to discuss your requirements and receive a personalized quote.
