Iburst Future.

Forget iburst use this!

Hi all, I started a thread called iburst future and again iburst just turned a blind eye. So I started this for someone to help me and people like me find the best wireless alternative. Suggestions.........?

Well, I think my concerns with 8ta might be confirmed if today's rumour of a possible merger/partnership betrween Telkom and Cell C are confirmed. Telkom must just die, the sooner the better. A merger will most likely benefit no-one - we need effective competition to Telkom in SA, else we're never going to go forwards.
 
Two friends use iBurst and are quite happy. Both are within 200m of the tower. I fix their problems so they never have to call iBirst

"Industry speculation suggests that iBurst is planning to replace its existing iBurst network (which makes use of the dying iBurst technology) with their new LTE network."

So maybe this is why almost all of your customers are having such slow speeds, because you are possibly (and FINALLY after way too long....) upgrading your infrastructure that is sorely lacking in being capable of giving us decent speeds.
 
I believe rooigevaar is the resident iburst rep.
He'll have to to better that these monosyllabic one hit wonders to convince people that their products are worth it.

Agreed.
Less technical jargon that few can fathom, more facts in plain English that normal people can understand.

Please Ronald, explain in plain English what the hell is going on, and keep that technical babbling for your techs.

Eish! r00igev@@r and I'm not the iBurst rep. Just a network bloke who works at iBurst and logs in here to help out (occasionally when life allows it).

A network consists of access, transmission, core and transit. There are other forms of access besides 802.20 namely:
- 2G/3G
- wifi
- LTE
- PtP
- PtMP
- fibre
- copper

The majority of traffic on the transmission, core and transit is not iBurst.
 
The existing Iburst hardware cannot use LTE, so what happens to the users that are on Wireless that are having the constant issues with speed?

I'm assuming we'll be 'encouraged' to buy new hardware and migrate, or get left behind with old tech and a system that iBurst will eventually allow to die off.
 
I feel they owe us a buy out option! But hey who knows if the LTE it going to work?

Who else is using your core?

WBS has what, 30Mhz in 2.6Ghz and if it goes well for them they will get 15Mhz FDD spectrum. you dont want TDD.

If WBS can scrape together a decent business plan and get some financing to rollout an LTE network it could still turn out well for them.

as long as they go with the right vendor....
