National Lottery retail agents with photon terminals can expect an upgrade to their store connectivity in the coming weeks. They have already commenced the conversion programme which will see an upgrade to the 4G network, according to CSNA (Convenience Store & Newsagents Association). Contractors will visit stores outside of peak Draw operation hours to install the new cradle points. The store visit takes approximately twenty minutes and there will be minimal interruption. The significant improvements in the new cradle points will be the ability of the router to connect to the alternative provider should connectivity be lost to the primary network on an individual shop basis. This investment should result in a resilient and improved service to the retail network. Should you have any questions please contact your National Lottery Field Sales Representative for further information.
