Posted: 05th Mar, 2003 By: MarkJ
Telewest's broadband ISP wing, blueyonder, has today announced trials of a new hi-speed wireless LAN service:
Telewest Broadband trials wireless connection
Telewest Broadband has begun trials of a new wireless broadband connection, enabling its customers to access its blueyonder broadband internet services via a wireless access point and their digital set-top box.
The new self-installation pack is being trialled with the company's existing digital TV customers in the North West and makes use of cable modems embedded in set-top boxes. The pack also utilises a pre-configured Netgear wireless access point and enables a connection suitable for either 512kbp/s or 1Mbp/s blueyonder broadband services.
Chad Raube, director of internet services at Telewest Broadband, said: "This new pack will introduce the every-day surfer to the benefits of wireless technology, whilst ensuring the process of installing and maintaining the connection is as simple as possible.
blueyonder customers will be able to just surf 'n' go while addressing the old-age problem of spaghetti junction around the house."
The company will gather feedback from customers, focusing on installation, ease of use and value for money. The trial follows hot on the heels of a wired self-installation pack, launched in January and costing just £12.50.
