LightSpeed and Aruba
LightSpeed and Aruba have teamed to offer wireless smartphone- and tablet-based POS solutions to iGeneration retailers. Aruba’s Mobile Device Admission Control (MDAC) enables iPads, iPod Touches, and iPhones to be shipped directly to stores, speeding POS deployment by allowing self-provisioning by general sales staff instead of IT specialists. Operating over Aruba’s PCI-compliant Wi-Fi networks, these devices reliably stay connected to the back-office LightSpeed database as users roam, allowing sales to be processed anywhere in the store. Aruba’s context-aware Mobile Virtual Enterprise (MOVE) architecture provides policy enforcement based on device-fingerprinting, application-fingerprinting, and location, ensuring a good in-store experience by prioritizing LightSpeed’s mobile POS applications over other less critical network traffic.
