Blackheath, Western Cape, South Africa - 16 April 2013 - Multenet Technologies today announced the launch of its new dual-SIM HSUPA V2 Router - a 3G router supporting 3G, GPRS, EDGE, HSDPA and HSUPA with advanced management.
Phil Blain, Multenet's marketing manager, says customer demand for higher availability and management has been greatly exceeded with the new router.
"High-speed upload packet access allows uploads of 15 times the rate of previous technologies. With HSDPA, a theoretical upload speed of 384Kbps was possible, while HSUPA allows 5.76Mbps (5 760Kbps)," he explains.
Blain says Multenet came to the idea for the HSUPA router when customers asked for a facility to transfer large amounts of data, such as real-time video streaming. Applications such as surveillance made the upload portion of the bandwidth configuration especially critical.
To provide higher availability, Multenet has introduced a ppp link test option that allows for redundancy on a logical network layer, not just at the RF level.
And in addition, Multenet expedited the issue of connectivity, including the steps involved in signing up with ISPs and obtaining SIM cards for routers, and the technically challenging exercise of communicating point-to-point across cellular networks.
Both these issues were resolved with the launch of Multenet's Private APN, a private network specifically designed for Multenet clients. Multenet Private APN clients receive SIM cards with statically assigned IP addresses on sign-up, and on activation are immediately able to communicate point-to-point across the cellular network.
Finally, says Blain, the router comes packed with features that make it a secure and reliable connectivity device for both small business and large corporates.
Popular features include:
* Secure dual-SIM with hidden tray;
* High upload speeds with HSUPA;
* Ease of configuration through Web interface; and
* Hassle-free upgrades.
