Telecoms service provider iBurst will unveil its proprietary fixed line, unshaped DSL offering called iDSL in January next year.
The company will also introduce its own gaming platform, iGame, in conjunction with iDSL.
The iDSL access solution leverages a Telkom IP Connect pipe which means iBurst will terminate DSL Internet traffic directly on its own network, instead of doing so via Telkom.
This results in reduced latency for all on-net applications, explains the company, a benefit for the online gaming community.
“iDSL will cater particularly well to the needs of the gaming community, as it offers lower latency and better overall consistency with less jitter, allowing for a far smoother experience for applications such as online gaming,” states iBurst.
The company says the iGame Unlimited service offers subscribers on packages of 5GB and up uncapped gaming bandwidth.
As part of an introductory offer, iBurst says new iDSL subscribers will have access to the standard iGame platform and receive 1GB of gaming bandwidth free each month for a period of three months to test out the service.
Although only available from January 2010, the iDSL product will see intensive testing and refinement in December, so iBurst can bring its fixed line DSL broadband offering to consumers in the new year, concludes iBurst Group CEO, Jannie van Zyl.
