On-Communications, the UK’s leading Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) provider, has announced that due to increasing demand the company will increase both capacity and availability using WiMAX technology for the first time within its guaranteed performance, symmetrical internet service across Sheffield.

Sheffield based, On-Communications offers a connection using WiMAX technology that is totally wireless to the building, removing the risks inherent to traditional “last mile” local loop connectivity. On-Communications also aims to save businesses money over traditional cable or fibre provided services (such as SDSL, Leased Line, LES Ethernet and Fibre) and will beat existing renewal or new connection quotes from other providers on like for like services.

The service from On-Communications is available with guaranteed symmetrical bandwidth at contract options of 1Mb, 2Mb, 4Mb, 6Mb, 8Mb & 10Mb.  All options include the additional flexibility of supporting “burst” bandwidth. At no extra charge* this feature allows businesses to access additional bandwidth, up to twice their contracted speed, during peak periods. The service is backed by a robust Service Level Agreement from On Communications and is ideal for demanding business applications such as access to hosted applications, VPN support and VoIP solutions.

Ian Roberts, Chief Executive Officer, On-Communications said:

“By using the latest WiMAX technology and, as a result, avoiding the cost and complexity of underground cables, On-Communications can break with tradition and offer increased bandwidth, new features and reliable service at lower cost than our wireline competitors. Our enterprise class connectivity offers Sheffield’s business community all the benefits of a dedicated leased line in addition to extra bandwidth during peak times of usage. What is more we can still beat quotes from other suppliers.”
