NATCOM launches WiMax trial for Auckland Business
NATCOM is to trial its WiMax Airthernet™ service in
Auckland from January and is seeking trial customers to
check the viability and quality of the service.
The trial is open to small and medium sized business
customers who want Internet cost savings and have a standard
and speed of service at a quantum leap from their existing
wired or wireless service. Interested companies can register
their interest on www.airthernet.com . Airthernet™ is a new
service of NATCOM and is the name of its high quality and
high demand wireless broadband services.
Any
company that is picked to be a trial customer will obtain
free installation of required WiMax equipment and be
provided with the Internet bandwidth at a low nominal charge
on a flat rate regardless of how much is used. It is hoped
that an outcome of this trial is to demonstrate cost savings
and increased efficiency by using this service for the
businesses picked.
“Good quality broadband is
important for business efficiency and cost savings,” said
Frayne Cooke, CEO of NATCOM, “now that WiMax appears viable,
it makes sense to look at our own flavour of services that
give customers a better level of service for always on
Internet.”
“The speed expectation that we will
offer customers will be between 2 Mbps to 10Mbps depending
on which trial plan chosen,” adds Mr Cooke, “that means that
voice, video and web browsing services will easily rattle
around in that large ‘pipe’ of Internet services to the
customers front door!”
WiMax has been touted as
the wireless broadband standard that enables very high speed
internet services to be used by customers. Many trials have
been commenced globally and the Airthernet™ service from
NATCOM is aimed at business users w
