Internet service provider (ISP) MWEB Business yesterday unveiled a wireless broadband connection and support package, aimed at small and medium enterprises (SMEs).
While initially a reseller of Vodacom`s 3G and high-speed downlink packet access offerings, MWEB Business plans to expand its range of broadband offerings by the end of 2006, notes GM of marketing and products, Gary Hart.
The wireless broadband offerings are provided with value-added services including a 1GB MWEB mailbox, 24-hour technical support, 300 free WiFi minutes per month in MWEB joint-venture hotspots, and monitoring and alerts related to data caps and limits, the company says.
Hart cites research from BMI-TechKnowledge, which projects 870 000 broadband subscribers in SA by 2009 - 56% of which will use wireless broadband services.
"But our research has revealed there is still a great degree of uncertainty about broadband - among SMEs and consumers.
"We aim to demystify and simplify the process of upgrading to high speed Internet, either fixed or wireless. Broadband is far more affordable than businesses tend to think, and we believe it is the simplicity of having a single service provider that will appeal to users," adds Hart.
