Case Study: PANDORA achieves day-one store opening and saves $50,000 with Cradlepoint

Cradlepoint Solution Allows Retail Jewelry Store to Open, Saving $50,000

Pandora, an international jewelry retailer, faced an ISP strike that threatened to delay the Park City Center concept store opening in Lancaster, PA—putting them at risk of lost holiday sales and lease penalties. Cradlepoint stepped in with Day‑1 connectivity using a Cradlepoint router and NetCloud Service for Branch to provide immediate 4G wireless Internet when hardwired service was unavailable.

Cradlepoint’s solution, integrated with a WatchGuard firewall and HP switch, enabled secure POS and credit‑card transactions and provided ongoing 4G failover for the store’s wired connection. The store opened on time, preserved customer data security, avoided landlord penalties and lost holiday revenue, preventing more than $50,000 in potential costs.
