From restaurants and retail stores to transport hubs and hospitals, kiosks are reshaping how businesses serve customers. But as their role expands, so does the need for resilient and secure connectivity that ensures every kiosk operates flawlessly, no matter the location.
At Com4, we deliver managed IoT connectivity that keeps these systems online at all times. With multi-network SIMs, private IP options, and centralized management tools, we enable businesses to deploy, monitor, and scale kiosk operations efficiently and securely.
Transforming Customer Interactions Across Industries
Modern self-service kiosks are transforming industries by improving accessibility, efficiency, and personalization.
- Restaurants and cafés: Ordering kiosks speed up transactions and improve accuracy while supporting loyalty programs and real-time promotions.
- Retail: Interactive kiosks simplify product searches, returns, and payments while reducing pressure on checkout lines.
- Healthcare: Hospitals and clinics use kiosks for faster check-ins, appointment confirmation, and privacy-friendly patient management.
- Transportation and hospitality: At airports and hotels, kiosks streamline check-ins, issue tickets, and manage upgrades or add-ons.
- Public spaces and events: Ticketing, registration, and wayfinding kiosks reduce queues and optimize visitor flow.
These devices rely on uninterrupted data connections to function. A single network failure can halt transactions, disrupt updates, or render an entire kiosk inoperative—leading to lost revenue and a poor user experience.
Case Study: Snaktime Oy – Ensuring Reliable Kiosk Connectivity Nationwide in Finland
Snaktime Oy, a leading Finnish operator of self-service food and coffee kiosks, depends on Com4’s managed IoT connectivity to keep their nationwide network running smoothly.
Operating in diverse environments—ranging from city offices to rural construction sites—Snaktime needed a flexible and stable connection capable of functioning where Wi-Fi or fiber isn’t available.
By using Com4’s multi-network SIMs, Snaktime ensures that each kiosk automatically connects to the strongest available mobile network, maintaining uptime and seamless customer experiences.
The result:
- Reduced downtime and fewer service interruptions
- Remote monitoring and updates through Com4’s connectivity platform
- Secure transactions via private network configurations
- Scalability to deploy new kiosks quickly across regions
This collaboration highlights how reliable connectivity can directly enhance customer satisfaction and operational efficiency in unattended retail environments.

Smarter Management with Centralized Control
Operating a single kiosk is simple. Managing hundreds—or thousands—across different cities or countries is not.
Com4’s IoT connectivity management platform gives operators full visibility and control from one dashboard. Businesses can:
- Monitor kiosk status and network performance in real time
- Deploy software updates or content remotely
- Receive automated alerts for connectivity issues
- Access detailed analytics for uptime, data usage, and performance trends
This proactive monitoring reduces costly site visits, minimizes downtime, and ensures consistent service across all locations.
The Role of AI and Personalization
Many modern kiosks now use AI and machine learning to deliver more intuitive and personalized experiences.
A kiosk in a café might promote different menus depending on the time of day. Retail kiosks can recommend complementary products or recognize returning customers through loyalty systems. AI-powered kiosks enhance engagement and drive conversions—but only if they stay connected.
Com4’s low-latency, secure mobile connectivity ensures that data flows continuously between kiosks and cloud-based AI systems, enabling real-time analytics and adaptive content delivery.
Secure and Scalable Connectivity
Security is critical for kiosks handling sensitive data and digital payments. Com4 provides private IP networks, VPN encryption, and end-to-end data protection to safeguard each connection.
Our solutions can be configured with private APNs, giving enterprises complete control and isolation from public internet exposure. This ensures that every transaction, software update, or system log remains secure and traceable.
As businesses scale, Com4’s global infrastructure makes it easy to expand into new markets without changing SIM providers or connectivity configurations.
