NI SMEs to benefit from NTL Broadband package

NTL has announced the launch of its 'Broadband Power' solution for small and medium (SMEs) across Northern Ireland.

The broadband connectivity provides access to a central network and creates a ‘Virtual Private Network’ (VPN), which allows a number of sites to operate as if they are on the same system.

Nigel Lee, Product Manager at NTL Business, said: “Even small businesses increasingly need to support communications between a number of geographically diverse sites.

“Broadband Power will enable such organisations to implement a cost-effective communications solution that will not only improve day-to-day efficiency, but also offers the flexibility of adding new sites as the business grows, without enormous additional expense.”

Broadband Power is available in three versions, enabling organisations to select a package that best suits their bandwidth, SLA (Service Level Agreement) and budget requirements:

• Broadband Professional: offers 256kbps upstream and variable downstream data rates up to 2Mb, with a contention ratio of 4:1;
• Broadband Office: offers 256kbps upstream and a downstream data rate of 512kbps, with a contention ratio of 20:1;
• Broadband Teleworker: a single user service for 10 sites or more, offering 256kbps upstream and 512kbps downstream, with a 20:1 contention ratio.

All three versions of Broadband Power offer a fully managed service, to include Customer Premise Equipment installed and configured by NTL Business service engineers.
