Dependable internet, guest Wi-Fi and backup connections that keep checkout lines moving for stores, dealerships and retail chains.
Retail
Connectivity Built for Retailers
Every minute your network is down, your registers are too. Cronus gives Detroit retailers, auto dealerships and multi-location chains fast business internet with automatic backup, so sales, inventory and card payments never stop.
Our in-store Wi-Fi keeps shoppers connected and staff productive, while managed security keeps payment systems separate and protected.

Services for Retailers
Explore the Cronus services retailers use most.
“Our franchisees had major issues with internet connections dropping and not being able to process orders. Cronus came in and set up a standard firewall with a failover SD-WAN connection for each store. We now have 2 internet connections per store, so even our voice service never goes down.”Achillies P., Beyond Juice Group, CTO
Questions
Retail FAQ
What happens to our registers if the internet goes down?
With a Cronus backup connection, your store switches automatically to a second path such as 5G, usually within seconds, so customers keep checking out.
Can you connect all of our store locations?
Yes. We connect retail chains and franchises with the same reliable setup at every store, managed and supported from our Detroit NOC.
Do you install security cameras for retail stores?
Yes. We install and manage security cameras with remote viewing, and can connect your store to Project Green Light Detroit.
Can guest Wi-Fi help our store marketing?
Yes. A branded login page can promote sales and loyalty programs and collect opt-in emails, while shoppers stay on a network separate from your registers.
How fast can Cronus get us connected?
It depends on your location and service. Fixed wireless and 5G can often be installed within days, with no trenching. Fiber may take longer if construction is needed. We give you a clear timeline with your quote, and we can start with a fast temporary connection while fiber is built.
What areas does Cronus serve?
Cronus is based in downtown Detroit and serves businesses and organizations across Detroit and Michigan. Our own fixed wireless and fiber network covers much of the Detroit area, and 5G and satellite options reach almost anywhere. See our Service Areas page or call us to check your address.
