Telecomplete has announced the launch of a broadband Wireless Metropolitan Area Network for Manchester. The symmetric service is clearly being targeted at businesses, with a 2Mbps package costing from £219 per month:
The service is based upon 13 Rooftop POP across Manchester for maximum coverage for secure and reliable IP connectivity to any location within the M60 and represents the ONLY alternative to BT in Manchester. Telecomplete’s WMAN service offers dedicated, secure access of a Leased Line but with a similar pricing structure to SDSL services – an unparalleled value message for Manchester based customers.
WMAN represents a cost effective inter-branch/office support for converged IP voice, data and streaming video applications coupled with very high speed internet access and back up and disaster recovery.
Telecomplete’s service offers several compelling factors that make WMAN more attractive than traditional leased lines:
• Rapid deployment – only 5 days installation compared to up to 45 days for a leased line
• 99.95% uptime SLA
• Exceptional Quality of Service
• Highly secure access with no shared inter-connects
• Zero contention anywhere on your connection
• Discreet installations with minimal disruption to business
• Flexible bandwidths with easy upgrade path
• From only £219/month for 2Mb connection.
Mark Salvin, Sales Director, comments ‘This is a great innovation for Manchester and means true convergence is one step closer for all Manchester-based organisations. We are constantly evaluating our services, requirements of the marketplace and how we can best exploit available technologies. With the WMAN service, we have a unique proposition for the Manchester marketplace that I am sure will become the blue-print for other UK cities.’
Comparable fixed-line SDSL products are typically somewhat more expensive, although many smaller businesses often opt for the cheaper 20:1 business ADSL alternatives.
