Honeywell, Verizon collaborate on 5G-enabled retail solution

Honeywell has announced a collaboration with U.S. carrier Verizon to provide an integrated technology solution for retail and logistics businesses. The offering combines Honeywell’s hardware, software and services with Verizon’s 5G connectivity, with the main aim of simplifying the process of purchasing and managing technology while enabling future expansions of devices and data plans. In a release, Honeywell noted that a key practical benefit of the solution is its potential to support business continuity during unexpected disruptions. For example, if a retail store loses power and internet access, it can continue operations using Verizon’s 5G connection paired with Honeywell’s handheld devices and contactless payment software. This setup allows businesses to maintain their point-of-sale systems and minimize interruptions, the company explained.
