According to IP PBX.CO.ZA, Businesses with multiple locations can benefit immensely from IP PBX technology. With either a LAN or WAN connection, offices can benefit from a common office phone system, including extension dialing and seamless call transfers. VoIP technology also allows for free inter-branch calls, even if the branches are hundreds or even thousands of kilometres apart.

Some of the benefits of VoIP include:

Channel bonding now allows businesses to channel multiple ADSL lines with other access technologies like diginet/leased lines and wireless connections, such as WiMax and 3g/hsdpa into a single large pipe for Internet access. The first generation of channel bonding only allowed for the bonding of similar broadband technologies but now it is possible to bond heterogenous WAN/Internet access technologies!

Userful is offering business people the opportunity to create profitable multiple income streams by selling internet access. Users are looking to get internet access from everywhere and WiFi hotspots are not the answer as over 85% of South Africans do not own laptops, leaving them dependant on internet shops.

Wimax and Metronet are two, relatively new wireless options, that provide Corporates that need highly available, guaranteed uptime and throughput Internet conenction,s with multiple options for a redundant link.

Diginet, leased line connections provide a higher level of availability than ADSL lines.  Cyber Connect has two leased line offering for businesses that required guaranteed uptimes, support and throughput for their corporate Internet connections, with access solutions ranging from 64kb to 2048kb, providing unlimited bandwidth per month with no restriction on international browsing at a fixed monthly cost.

Corporate bandwidth management is often left to its own devices until the exponential growth in bandwidth usage costs gets the attention of someone in finance, or starts becoming one of the larger line item on the IT departments monthly income statement.

This scalable solution can be implemented to meet your primary connectivity requirements or compliment your existing primary connectivity in order to meet redundancy requirements. Metronet is a Micro Wave link product using a licensed spectrum.

WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability Microwave Access) is a new generation technology that is a wireless alternative to ADSL and offers connectivity to SMEs and Corporates. It is a wireless alternative to digient leased lines and ADSL. With reduced pricing and free installation on 24 month contracts, now is the time to take your business to the next level and subscribe to WiMax.

In the current economic climate many companies are downgrading from expensive diginet lines, with their low bandwidth and high cost, to bonded ADSL which allows up to 20Mbps download speeds and up to 2Mbps upload speed.  But bonded ADSL can also be used to cut costs by providing cheap and abundant bandwidth for a VOIP trunk for your IP-PBX, such as Asterisk, and not just to save mone

Corporates who provide their staff with 3G wireless internet cards inevitably face the challenge of managing and monitoring the individual accounts for bandwidth utilisation and for any other related accounting issues.

The good news is that Cyber Connect's developers have developed a usage monitoring application that allows administrators of corporate accounts to manage, in a granular manner, how much data each user downloads per day, their out of bundle usage and the cost associated with this usage.
