Singapore's Pacific Internet Launches Wireless Bandwidth Management for Customers

Pacific Internet Limited, Asia Pacific's largest telco-independent Internet Communications Service Provider by geographic reach, has launched the first phase of its PacNet @irPower service (@ir stands for Access-in-Range), a robust enterprise-grade wireless service that gives businesses greater operational control over their broadband. The service is targeted initially at companies located in the western part of Singapore.

PacNet @irPower is a stable and secure wireless broadband service that offers additional bandwidth when customers need it, through its "burstable bandwidth" feature. This feature enhances flexibility for users by providing additional bandwidth over what customers' access plans normally allow, when needed most. More importantly, costs are effectively controlled as they are capped at the 95 percentile of actual usage.

Customers of the new service can rank and allocate bandwidth according to their specific business requirements through traffic prioritization to have better control of their available bandwidth. Users will also be able to change traffic priority to adapt to evolving business decisions. With more efficient use of bandwidth, customers will gain costs and time savings.

The service is delivered through the proprietary technology that rides on a spectrum licensed by the Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore that allows only authorised units to have access to the secure network. PacNet @irPower also comes with an optional managed firewall service that can be enabled remotely.

Customers of this unlimited high-speed Internet access service also enjoy symmetric access for rich voice and video applications, as well as other critical business applications. A useful control tool that comes with the service is the online monitoring tool that shows customers the bandwidth usage of their networks at a glance.
