As technology continues to advance, kiosks are becoming more and more prevalent in our daily lives. From ordering food at a fast-food restaurant to purchasing tickets at a movie theater, kiosks are making our lives easier and more efficient. However, for these kiosks to function properly, they need a reliable internet connection. This is where cellular routers come in.

Cellular routers are devices that use cellular networks to provide internet connectivity. They are an excellent solution for kiosks that are located in areas where traditional wired internet connections are not available or are unreliable. With a cellular router, kiosks can stay connected to the internet, allowing them to process transactions, update inventory, and perform other essential functions.

Cantaloupe, Inc., a digital payments and software services company that provides end-to-end technology solutions to power self-service commerce, reports a significant increase in the amount of EMV transactions at food and beverage vending machines in 2022. This growth, as reported in Cantaloupe’s recently released 2023 Micropayment Trends Report, is partly due to the fact that consumers increasingly prefer making tap payments – and EMV-enabled credit cards allow for a faster and easier tap-to-pay experience.

“We saw huge growth in contactless payments at vending machines in 2022, especially as operators upgraded to EMV contactless-enabled card readers over the course of the year,” noted Elyssa Steiner, CMO of Cantaloupe, Inc. “With EMV’s ability to help reduce the chance of in-person credit/debit card fraud and increase the security of consumer financial data, Cantaloupe has been at the forefront of pushing for EMV adoption. The transition to EMV-enabled contactless card readers represents a huge benefit for the operator, the consumer and for us as a payment processor.”
