Dublin, Ireland – (Date] – ROCTEL (www.ROCTEL.net), a leading provider of reliable internet connectivity and cybersecurity solutions, has partnered with Elavon (www.elavon.ie), a leading global payments provider, to deliver a robust merchant services payment solution tailored for those in the SMB retail sector.

With 80% of transactions now cashless, Ireland is rapidly transitioning to a cashless society. This shift means retailers must adapt to meet customer expectations. However, many small businesses face critical challenges with inconsistent connectivity, leading to downtime in Point-of-Sale (POS) systems. These interruptions not only cause lost revenue but also risk damaging customer trust and loyalty.

Beyond connectivity issues, the increasing reliance on cashless payments exposes businesses to heightened cybersecurity risks. Cyberattacks targeting payment systems and customer data are on the rise, with small businesses being particularly vulnerable due to limited resources to address these threats.

A Partnership That Secures and Empowers Businesses


The partnership between ROCTEL and Elavon offers retailers a comprehensive solution that combines the Elavon, dependable payment platform with ROCTEL’s robust ROCSOLID™ connectivity and cybersecurity services. Together, they ensure businesses remain operational and secure in today’s digital economy.
