MWEB selects Billion modems
Says Bernard Kur of MWEB Business: "Broadband is one of the biggest opportunities for ISPs at the moment. Online communication is simply the way in which things are done today, and users want permanent, hassle-free Internet access 24/7. Take-up is being driven by a drop in price, a shift in the way in which people live and work using digital communication mediums, and a growing understanding of broadband technology."
MWEB’s focus is on the consumer and small business market. "Our ADSL offering plays a particularly important role in our broadband strategy and we pride ourselves on providing a broad range of tailored options," says Kur.
Broadband ADSL makes use of an existing telephone line. The signal is split into two channels, one for voice communications and the other for the high-speed data connection. MWEB then utilises the data channel to bring high speed, always-on Internet to its customers. A modem needs to be purchased by the client to send and receive data signal.
"Hardware (the modem) is an essential part in ensuring our ASDL offering is competitive," says Julie-Anne Doyle, head of products at MWEB. "We wanted solutions that not only met the functional requirements of our different market segments, but were reliable, easy to use and install, and cost-effective. We also wanted a partner that would deal with the hardware technology and delivery to our clients’ premises, leaving us to focus on our core service offering – connectivity."
The Billion routers were subject to extensive testing before they were selected. Distributor and agent Nology does the warehousing of the products and delivers direct to MWEB’s clients.
