The world at your fingertips
Broadband Data Services provides you with continued high-speed connectivity for your corporate or personal needs, through broadband internet and email services. Within the area of the base station closest to you, you can maintain this connection in an always-on mode. You no longer need to wait until you get to a place which provides connectivity.
Always available
As the services on the Internet expand to include all aspects of life, many are only at their full potential if they’re available as soon as your need arises.
Because you can access information at any time with Broadband Data Services, you no longer need to plan ahead or guess what information to download to local storage to use later.
Similarly, any data you receive while on the move, such as digital photos, can be transferred immediately to the online environment for storage or for others to access.
The end result is a unique user experience of the freedom that the Broadband Data Services service provides. It’ll be very hard for you to go back to an existence where the online world is not always available at your fingertips.
FIXED LINE BROADBAND (ADSL)
Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) is a technology that enables an ordinary telephone line to reach speeds up to 1024kbps (over 18 times that of a dialup connection). It is another connectivity technology that transmits data at high bandwidth speeds on existing copper telephone lines to homes and businesses.
The ADSL system makes use of your existing telephone line and splits the signal into voice communications and high speed data connection. ADSL is capable of simultaneously offering voice information on the same line. ADSL offers you increased bandwidth. The downstream bandwidth is higher than the upstream bandwidth (asymmetric).
Being asymmetric, it means that ADSL uses most of the channel to transmit downstream (refers to the flow of information from the requested information resource to your PC) to the user and only a small part to receive information from the user. Whatever level of your downstream, your upstream level is fixed at 256Kbps.
WIRELESS BROADBAND
In today’s business environment workers travel more, work from home more and spend more time out of the office with suppliers and customers. These workers often need access to company resources when at home, with clients, with suppliers or otherwise offsite. IS Wireless Broadband offers you, the user, the ability to stay connected 24 hours a day where ever you are. IS offers your company a range of different wireless broadband solutions, these are:
- GSM Connectivity (GPRS, EDGE, 3G, HSPDA, 3G)
- MyWireless
- iBurst
GSM Connectivity
One of the most attractive elements about GSM Connectivity is that although it can be considered as ‘always on’, you only pay for data sent or received, not for the duration of your session.
GPRS
GPRS (General Packet Radio Services) is seen as the key driver in mobile data communications.
In today’s busy world, being productive while mobile is about more than just talking. Via GPRS, a mobile worker has the ability to be able to work “dynamically” via a connection to the office network or the internet.
For the first time, GPRS fully enables VPN and/or Internet functionality by allowing interworking between VPN or Internet and the new GSM GPRS networks. Any service that is used over a VPN or the Internet today- File Transfer Protocol (FTP), web browsing, chat, email, telnet- will be available over the IS infrastructure via the use of GPRS.
EDGE
Edge (Enhanced Data for Global Evolution) – a faster version of the GSM standard and standard GPRS, using a new modulation technique and introducing improvements in the radio protocol to deliver data at nominal rates up to 230 Kbps.
3G
UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) is a so-called “third-generation (3G),” broadband, packet-based transmission of text, digitized voice, video, and multimedia at data rates up to and possibly higher than 2 megabits per second (Mbps), offering a consistent set of services to mobile computer and phone users no matter where they are located in the world.
(3G) HSPDA
(3G) HSDPA is a 3G enhancement that delivers superior speed. Its performance is comparable to today’s wireless LAN services, but with the added benefit of mobility and ubiquitous coverage.
MyWireless
Internet access in Africa is regarded as among the most expensive and unreliable in the world. Due to bandwidth restrictions, the reality of Internet connectivity in South Africa has long been characterised by low-speed, unreliable connections at an exorbitant and fluctuating price. Now, technological advances and a new regulatory framework have enabled Sentech to launch the first true broadband wireless service offering, capable of delivering unrestricted, high-speed, portable, always on Internet access at an affordable monthly cost.
iBurst
iBurst technology is an always on wide-area mobile broadband technology offering a unique combination of high speed, wide range and high base station capacity. It’s a pure IP, end-to-end system built on two primary components: base stations deployed by a network operator, much like today’s cellular services, and wireless modems or PC cards that customers use with an existing Internet appliance, such as a notebook.
TALKING WIRELESS GSM DATA CARDS
You can choose the mobile data solution to suit your unique mobile data communication needs and only pay for the amount of data you use, regardless of how long your session.
talkingtelecom’s mobile data services offer you mobile, instant broadband access to the Internet and email, or your company network – from your laptop or desktop. To offer you a wider choice of data solutions for your mobile data communication needs, talkingtelecom has expanded its mobile data service solutions to include:
