Retail Device Networking
Whether you're responsible for a single store or a complete chain, getting Point-of-Sale (POS) equipment to work cohesively
together can be a real challenge. With each device requiring a dedicated point-to-point connection, installation can
be expensive, and devices can be difficult to maintain and costly to service.
Lantronix device servers allow you to attach all of your POS devices to a common network connection. Device networking overcomes the limitations of serial connections, enabling POS devices to share information across the network without a dedicated server, providing greater scalability, significant cost savings, and more effective customer service.

Lantronix device servers contain the technology necessary to network-enable cash registers, barcode scanners, RFID readers, credit card scanners, automated retail signs – just about any peripheral POS device with a serial port. We make it easy for retailers to manage inventory, keep track of assets, guard against theft, and share information across the network. Our products also help control costs by upgrading your retail stations while preserving your investment in existing devices and application software.
Warehousing and inventory management obviously play huge parts in any successful retail operation. The fast and accurate tracking of incoming and outgoing shipments is essential to successfully managing orders and inventory. Device servers offer a very efficient, cost-effective way to deliver real-time, remote inventory management and control.
Security is a major consideration in retail. Our SecureBox® secure device server provides the encryption necessary to protect against credit card fraud and sensitive issues that are common with large transactions. In addition to data security, Lantronix device servers are key components of physical security systems responsible for theft and intrusion prevention.
Lantronix device servers give you the flexibility to easily network-enable additional POS devices without impacting your existing infrastructure. Their ability to securely and remotely manage peripheral devices translates very well to the retail industry.
