3G/HSDPA access from multiple points

[tco21]

Hi all.

Stupid question, but is it possible to buy a contract with a WISP (not necessarily Vodacom, but let's say Neotel, iBurst etc) for x amount of cap per month, and split the cap between several access points (for example multiple SIM's in the case of Vodacom)?

Apologies if the thread is in the wrong area but thought this place to be suitable to post.

thanks for the search term, but it refers to using one SIM for both data and voice, what I want is one account, multiple SIM's, all on data.

IS was offering a service like this on 3G: http://www.is.co.za/mobile/broadband/GSM.htm

You may also want to look at the corporate APN solutions although that gets expensive very quickly.

How expensive? Ballpark?

The reason I ask is because I want to implement this for an SMME because it would need connectivity from, lets say 50+ locations countrywide, and I imagine creating that many internet accounts would just be ridiculously expensive.

For how many people or is it 50 sites? I don't know the costs unfortunately. v3g can put you in contact with someone who can give you the details. Otherwise IS offer it. There was also a syrnix communications rep floating around on the forum who offered corporate APNs.

Thanks will have a look around for that. It's for 50 sites
