Dover acquires AvaLAN Wireless Systems
AvaLAN technology will enable DFS to meet a growing need for data security and cloud services solutions.
Dover has completed the acquisition of AvaLAN Wireless Systems Incorporated (AvaLAN), a provider of wireless and wired Ethernet solutions, along with managed routers, software-as-a-service and cloud-based services.
This technology enables operators to securely connect various parts of the site infrastructure and take advantage of modern data-enabled operational, payment and customer engagement technologies. AvaLAN is now part of the Dover Fueling Solutions operating unit.
Located in Huntsville, Alabama, AvaLAN focuses on solving data connectivity challenges by securely connecting difficult-to-reach network edge devices. The company is a pioneer in the development of wireless solutions for the retail fueling industry., according to DFS.
“In addition to offering attractive networking solutions in a growing space, especially as companies look to address uptime and performance challenges, AvaLAN meets a growing need for all forecourt components – dispensing, media, payment and software – to be separately managed,” said Matt Nelson, CEO of AvaLAN. “EMV transitions and the move to media-rich/connected dispensers will cause many convenience stores to adopt modern networking systems over the coming years, and we look forward to meeting industry demand.”
AvaLAN technology will enable DFS to meet a growing need for data security and cloud services solutions.
“We estimate 90% of all gas stations in the U.S. will need to invest in communication and network infrastructure in the near future. Offering security software and corresponding hardware adapted for the fuel retail market builds on our record of innovation and product leadership to create a comprehensive suite of forecourt solutions as we further advance our long-term strategy of growing the digitally-enabled value streams in our retail fueling business,” said DFS President David Crouse.
