Benlycos aids Hindustan Petroleum with Internet Connectivity

About 2000+ company owned and company operated petrol pumps dot highways across India. These locations lacked wireline Internet, they employ VSAT based communication to connect with their headquarters in Mumbai.

There are over 2000 company-owned and operated petrol pumps dotting the major highways of India. Understandably, these petrol stations are highly reliant on internet connectivity for their daily operations. However, real-time information retrieval and data transfer had always been a problem with these petrol pumps. To solve this, the government deployed a VSAT communication system to facilitate real-time communication and data transfer. Still, the costs and often unsatisfactory speeds of VSAT outweigh its benefits.

While the petrol pumps did have access to a better mode of communication and data transfer via VSAT, most complained that the costs were too high and the resultant speeds were not that up to the mark.

This is when Benlycos stepped into the scene. With link aggregation devices and systems that are designed to provide seamlessly high-speed internet in any location, Zifilink was able to deploy its services in two of these pumps and the results were highly satisfying.

The main problems that Benlycos solved in this scenario were the high costs of using VSAT communication, and the unreliable network connectivity of the same. Today, with Benlycos’s internet bonding services, these petrol pumps have been able to significantly reduce the costs of their daily operation, while enjoying swift transactions, data transfers, and overall business operations.

Security surveillance has emerged as an indispensable need in today’s world. Monitoring can now be offered as a service that is managed remotely. It helps in relieving valuable capital and human resources that no longer need to be on-site to monitor.

The Challenge

Petrol Pumps across India encounter several significant challenges that impact their efficiency and customer service:

Reliable Internet Connectivity 24/7: It’s really important to have reliable Internet access to keep things running smoothly and ensure everything works properly. But it can be tough to ensure the internet is always working when you need it.

High-Speed Internet for Business Operations: Having fast and dependable internet is really important for making sure that business transactions and other activities can happen quickly. If the internet is slow, it can slow down work and make customers unhappy.

Slow Servers: When servers are slow, it can make it difficult for people to complete transactions, which makes them unhappy.

High Costs of VSAT Communication: A lot of gas stations use VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminal) for internet connection. This can be very expensive and financially challenging.

The Solution

Benlycos’ internet bonding router, which is significantly inexpensive as compared to VSAT, was able to reduce the operational costs of 2 of these petrol pumps. Besides, we were able to boost their internet speeds exponentially. With connection backup, these petrol pumps enjoy unhindered business operations even during a connection failover.

Thus, with one device, Benlycos eliminated 4 major challenges related to internet connectivity and communication speeds. This meant that the petrol pumps gained an upgrade at a lower cost. Today, Benlycos still proudly serves these petrol pumps to bring them high-speed internet connection and seamless business operations.
