And those individual stores report to centralized ops. This is a terrible usecase
- chabska 2y agoHow do those stores report to HQ when they don't have power? Even cell towers could be down if the situation is bad enough.
- deathanatos 2y agoThe lack of a signal/data gets investigated, upon which you find out the store has no power.
- hnaccount_rng 2y agoAnd that's _much_ more expensive than 1k/month. At least if you keep the ability to investigate effectively around all the time.
- kortilla 2y agoNo it’s not. This isn’t a developing country. A grocery chain will see maybe one outage in 10 years that is bad enough to take out the store and internet+cell phone networks. Dispatching someone is absolutely more cost effective for these rare occasions.
