We’re diving into 3G sunsets and the move to 4G LTE for the small ticket unattended retail market. There is a ton of information in the market today around this topic, but much of it can be either misleading or wrongfully positioned to scare operators into making costly decisions. Bill Bartholic, a long-time industry veteran whose served in the unattended retail space for 23 years, serving as an operator for 20 years, will help us dispel some of those myths.
