BROADBAND INTERNET ACCESS - IT'S A WHOLE NEW WORLD....

VoIP, IP Video Monitoring Cameras, IP Video Conferencing, Virtual Private Networks and SDSL - it's all happening!

Many UK organisations in the public and private sectors are discovering a whole new world, enabled by the blossoming of IP (Internet Protocol) technologies after the advent of high-speed internet access that really works (finally) - ADSL Broadband.

High take-up of broadband has meant that options such as VoIP (Voice over IP, or internet telephony) are not just a theoretical possibility, but a practical reality as there are finally enough other people in the world with the same technology as yourself to make worth going and getting a headset and having a three hour chat to your mate in Canada for free.

IP Video Monitoring Cameras are also taking off in a big way, and security and surveillance is only one small part of the picture. IP monitoring offers a lot more than traditional analogue CCTV and is already being used in these areas;

• Remote Monitoring - instant real time view of what's happening in your home or business
• Web sites / Leisure - add live video to your web-site and capture your audience
• Banking - ATM surveillance and asset protection. Staff safety and footfall recording
• Education - security and safety in schools, bring the world into the classroom
• Healthcare - patient monitoring, teaching and security
• Childcare - parent accessible 'Nanny Cams' 
• Large Venue - surveillance, crowd control, incident management
• Retail - in-store observation, footfall systems, security and stock monitoring
• Transport - traffic observation and management
• Industrial - construction sites, production lines, hazardous environments

These cameras can also be controlled remotely over the web - take a look at what's happening in Manhattan right now with a Sony SNC-ZR25N camera installation.

IP Video Conferencing is also making inroads, and saving thousands of people a lot of travelling time, and a lot of organisations a lot of travel expenses. It's not just for large corporate organisations either these days - SMEs, education and even home users are getting in on it. Netoint Project IP and Networking Services offer the full range of solutions for video conferencing - from desktop to boardroom, from point-to-point to up to 6 sites via built in MCU. 

Virtual Private Networks used to be the domain of large corporate organisations running WANs (Wide Area Networks) using leased lines that were way outside the budget of average-sized businesses. These days however, you can run a small, but perfectly formed, VPN using a standard ASDL connection, allowing far greater flexibility of working practices to fit in with the modern world of work.

Broadband ADSL can be used for any of these products, however for heavier bandwidth and corporate users SDSL is the preferred option, for example:

• Where an IP camera will be accessed by large numbers of the public, such as at a tourist venue
• Where a site has more than three cameras on the same connection
• Where a company is using multi-site video conferencing to connect participants around the world
• Where multiple VoIP connections are being used simultaneously
• Where a number of separate offices or home workers are connecting via a Virtual Private Network (VPN)
• If you are running internet services such as a web or mail server

What is SDSL? With the Symmetric DSL service upload and download speeds are the same, as opposed to Asymmetric DSL where whatever the download speed (eg. 2Mbps) the upload speed does not exceed 256Kbps.

Just like ADSL though, SDSL has fixed annual charges so you can plan ahead and always know exactly what your Internet costs will be. 

SDSL is connected to your LAN via a dedicated router/SDSL modem. The SDSL solution delivers fast connectivity, surpassing alternative ADSL or ISDN links. SDSL service can be provided uncontended, meaning you always get the full Internet bandwidth provisioned for you, no sharing, no contention; a permanent, always on connection direct to the major Internet worldwide backbones and peering exchanges for maximum speed and availability of web content.
