A specialty retailer replaced MPLS at 220 locations with a Starlink + broadband SD-WAN, launching in twelve weeks ahead of the holiday season.
A specialty retailer replaced MPLS at 220 locations with a Starlink + broadband SD-WAN, launching in twelve weeks ahead of the holiday season.
Urban Mercantile's MPLS contract was ending, POS lag was hurting throughput, and PCI-DSS scope was expanding. They needed a new WAN in place before Black Friday — twelve weeks away.
AURA Technologies designed a dual-transport SD-WAN with Starlink and local broadband, segmented PCI traffic on its own virtual overlay, and coordinated a rolling install with the retail ops team. A zero-touch provisioning workflow allowed store managers to unbox and cable without a field engineer.
All 220 sites cut over four days before the holiday freeze. POS transaction latency dropped 47%. PCI scope shrank by 60% thanks to overlay segmentation.
“AURA Technologies delivered a nationwide SD-WAN rollout without touching a single store's operating hours.”
