Connect your roaming users to your network over 3G
What is 3G?
3G stands for third generation and refers to the latest wireless technology that offers high bandwidth, high-speed transmission, and in due time, connectivity from almost anywhere. Typically, they provide service at 5-10 Mb per second. 3G is the natural progression from existing analog cellular (1G) and digital (2G) transmission technologies. Unlike WLAN IEEE 802.11, 3G networks are wide area cellular telephone networks which incorporate high-speed internet access and video telephony.
3G has been around for some time but running 3G over a private network or a VPN is news. Our engineers can configure PDAs and laptops to run any IP based application over a VPN Tunnel, as well as email, intranets, file sharing etc. The secure "Push" communications opens up immense possibilities for improving productivity and efficiencies. We have successfully deployed this for a number of customers.
Why choose 3G?
| • | Nationwide Coverage -Network covers 92% of primary areas in Australia. We currently have 3G coverage in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne metropolitan areas. We also have 3G roaming agreements with 18 other overseas networks |
| • | Benefits areas where traditional wired solutions are unavailable, infeasible, or costly |
| • | Supports mobile users as they connect to their corporate data in a fast and secure method |
| • | Supports mobile businesses that require frequent set-up, tear down, and relocation like construction sites |
| • | Flexible, Anyplace Connectivity: Ideal for low data volumes and high-security applications, such as bank ATMs, gas stations etc |
| • | WAN backup: Deployed as a secondary WAN connection. A non-terrestrial data path gives you enhanced WAN diversity, not to mention exchange diversity, loop diversity and PoP diversity. |
Facts to be aware of before choosing 3G
Much depends on the data plan, as usage charges often prove to be more expensive than the hardware purchase. However, we have a range of data plans ranging from 2MB to 2 GB that can be tailored to your needs.
