Sirocom Launches Siroconnect Wi-Fi Access Price Bundling
SIROCOM LAUNCHES FIXED PRICE TARIFFS FOR HOME & ROAM WITH FREE WI-FI OR BROADBAND OFFERS
Weybridge, Surrey-/October 12, 2006 - Wi-Fi Technology News/- Sirocom, the UK’s fastest growing VNO, announces the launch of Siroconnect Price Bundling, a simple fixed-price monthly tariff, designed to support and encourage widespread enterprise mobility. The service, developed in conjunction with iPass, will enable affordable, easy to budget remote access, pooled hours, per monthly cost, irrespective of access method or location.
Barrie Desmond, Director of Business Development for Sirocom, explains, “At present, remote access is billed according to provider, access and geographical region, with wildly differing costs across the board. This makes budgeting for your home and roam workers increasingly unpredictable and difficult to manage, effectively limiting the adoption of remote working.”
“What we’re offering is a simple, secure and cost-effective route that will remove the cost management issues associated with roaming workers, and enable organisations to benefit from the related productivity gains and competitive advantage.”
Aggregating provider and access technologies into compelling fixed-price packages, tailored according to usage, Siroconnect Price Bundling simplifies cost control, making it easier for enterprises to budget and limit spend exposure. With over 100,000 Wi-Fi access points worldwide, users are free to roam without incurring penalties for over- or under-usage.
Key operational benefits of Siroconnect Price Bundling includes:
• Fixed price pooled hours per month – the ‘no access, no charge’ concept enables the predictive and accurate allocation of expenditure
• Hours are pooled across the enterprise helping to breakdown preconceptions of ‘use it or lose it’ services
• Single cost rate across any access technology and provider, with no additional or hidden roaming charges
• Comprehensive iPass and Siroconnect management tools, services and security, including; home broadband, 3G support, iSEEL (iPass Secure End-to-end Encrypted Login), iOQ (Intelligent Online Quality), and FlexiVision.
Available now, Siroconnect Price Bundles can be acquired with free broadband or Wi-Fi options for a limited period of 6 months.
Desmond continues, “The simplicity and flexibility of Siroconnect Price Bundling is demonstrative of the VNO fabric. Found at the core of Sirocom, this fabric enables us to quickly define, design and introduce new service options that enable further cost savings and operational enhancing benefits into the enterprise. Such agility ensures our customers can take full advantage of the processes and technologies that deliver bottom-line profits and enable commercial growth.”
