Pooled Data is created from a combination of different data sources. Relative to the wireless industry, pooled data usually refers to a type of plan offered by carriers to help connect organizations with more than one location. This can be especially useful for brands looking to expand into new markets, because it is likely that using just one wireless provider will result in lackluster performance. Pooling data makes it easy to monitor usage statistics and analytics, prevent data overages, and maintain peak device performance across multiple storefronts.
Practical Applications
Imagine that you’ve started a fast-food franchise. You started with two locations, both in the same general area. You chose Carrier A to provide your devices like routers, POS systems, employee handheld devices, and self-order kiosks with a steady 5G connection. The service works great, but now you need to expand and build a third location across town. Carrier A’s service doesn’t work the best at the new location, so you’ll need to use Carrier B. As you continue to expand into new areas you’re forced to work with new carriers while maintaining your previous relationships to keep the original locations connected. Soon enough bills will begin stacking up at the end of the month. Not to mention the fact that each location that uses a different carrier increases the number of account logins you’ll need to remember, and the number of data monitoring tools needed, amongst other things. Pooling data can alleviate the stress and time that goes into managing multiple lines by consolidating everything into one – Including bills, monitoring tools, and accounts.
What you can expect
Pooled Data Management
Pooling data through RTech also unlocks access to the Cloud Data Platform, an advanced data management system. Monitor real-time data usage, block sites, and more all from one central location with the CDP. By giving users the ability to control their networks through a single pane of glass, we’re giving more control than ever to the end user rather than the carrier.
Peak Performance
No carrier has great coverage everywhere. That’s why it’s important to utilize your options when expanding into multiple locations. Having the fastest speeds, lowest latency, and largest bandwidth can make a difference during peak hours. If you’ve grown attached to a certain carrier that doesn’t offer the best signal in an area, we can always create a secondary network using your favorite carrier as a backup.
Lower Expenses
Pooling data can also help lower expenses by preventing overages and eliminating wasted data. Data overages can create costs that weren’t accounted for in budgets, while wasted data is essentially the same as throwing money away. Data pooling helps prevent these issues by combining all data lines into one. If one location goes over its allotted data amount every month while another location always stays under, users can take the leftover data from location two and give it to location one, preventing any overages and lowering the amount of data going to waste.
Data pooling through rtech
At RTech we make it easy to migrate existing lines into a pooled plan or simply start a new pooled plan from scratch. We’ve partnered with the four major U.S.-based carriers including T-Mobile, Verizon, AT&T, and U.S. Cellular. These partnerships allow us to offer pooled data plans using any combination of these networks to bring only the best service to the locations that need it. The only requirement for starting a pooled plan through RTech is that the user must have at least 10 lines of data. Plus, with the Cloud Data Platform, users will be able to control all their networks from a single pane of glass.
We hope we’ve been able to answer the question “What is pooled data?” for you. For more information and pricing, reach out to us at info@getrtech.ocm
