Wireless Fax, Credit Card, Security System

by ohm.paul . Updated 17 years, 11 months ago

We currently run stores that deal with money, and one of our locations needs to run out of a location that has no land-line (telephone or broadband) available, so we are forced to run all of our services via wireless. The services we need are as follows: (phone, fax, internet, credit card terminal, security system)

There is a public Wi-Fi network in the area, so that could technically be used for the internet, but the employee will be performing transactions on an SSL secured website, but from what I have heard, this is still not completely secure if on a public network.

I was wondering if there would be a way to have one cellular line that could service the fax, credit card terminal, AND security system. Is there some sort of cellular hub that could be used for this where I would have one wireless signal being picked up by the hub, and then have multiple devices using that signal?

Also, for internet, perhaps it would be better to use some sort of mobile broadband solution, but I am not sure if these connections are fast enough to do what we need (stream video at around 30Kb/s) when needed.

Any help in discovering such a device (wireless cellular hub) or input on other options would be appreciated.
