Independent ATM Deployers (IADs) face a dual challenge: embracing advanced services like deposits and ATM-as-a-Service while sustaining traditional cash markets. This shift is compounded by financial institutions outsourcing ATM estates, raising expectations for “bank-grade” performance.

To stay competitive, deployers must rethink infrastructure and connectivity strategies to reduce complexity without sacrificing reliability or security.

Balancing Innovation with Operational Realities

Deployers must integrate advanced capabilities like cloud-based applications and distributed architectures while continuing to serve traditional cash markets.

This balancing act introduces complexity: multiple systems to manage, heightened security requirements, and the need for agility in an environment where downtime is costly.

Why Connectivity Is the Critical Foundation

For independent deployers, connectivity underpins everything. Supporting traditional ATMs alongside outsourced estates means managing diverse environments—from single-site machines to branch networks.

That requires infrastructure built for resilience: roaming SmartSIM solutions that switch seamlessly across local networks, 5G for speed and coverage, fiber broadband for stability, and SD-WAN for intelligent failover. These capabilities ensure maximum uptime and high availability.

Operational Pain Points That Slow Growth

Managing multiple carriers, SIM providers, hardware vendors, and support desks creates a web of contracts, billing cycles, and service silos.

This vendor sprawl drives up costs and stretches resources thin. Without a unified approach, troubleshooting becomes reactive, rollouts take longer, and margins erode.

The Infrastructure Rethink: What Modern Networks Require

Deployers need redundancy, intelligent failover, and proactive monitoring to ensure uptime. Security and real-time visibility are essential, while cloud and API-driven workflows enable automation and scalability.

How Smart Deployers Are Responding

Leading IADs are moving away from fragmented connectivity models. Instead of juggling multiple venders, they’re consolidating under a single, fully managed solution.

Managed connectivity can help deliver enterprise-grade uptime, proactive monitoring, and streamlined support, freeing deployers to focus on growth rather than troubleshooting.

Keeping Pace with ATM Evolution: Introducing ĢƵLink

ĢƵLink for Unattended delivers a single, end-to-end connectivity solution. It’s built for availability and efficiency from the ground up:

  • Superior uptime: A highly available core network designed to keep transactions flowing.
  • Intelligent failover: Global Wireless Access (GWA) SIM automatically switches to the best available network during service degradation or outage events. More importantly, the network cutover is imperceptible to your customers.
  • Redundancy options: Wired, wireless, and dual-SIM configurations tailored to your estate’s service availability requirements and risk profile.

The result? Fewer outages, fewer emergency call-outs, and more transactions processed every day.

And It’s Not Just About Uptime — It’s About Cost Control and Simplicity:

  • One vendor for connectivity, hardware, and support eliminates fragmentation.
  • A predictable monthly fee simplifies budgeting and reduces surprise costs.
  • Proven savings: Euro Automatic Cash migrated 1,500 ATMs across Spain in six months, achieving 20–30% cost reductions, improved uptime, and greater visibility. Read our customer use case to find out more.

By cutting out the complexity and overhead, ĢƵLink helps protect and improve your margins.
