Mobile Broadband Freedom with
Freedom4
Personal wireless broadband
service provider, Freedom4, has launched a new service for consumers to
get broadband wireless connection whilst on the move. The combined 3G and
Wi-Fi software along with the plug-in dongle selects the highest quality
connectivity at any given location to provide users with a flexible
wireless service. It’s claimed to be UK's first integrated 3G and Wi-Fi
mobile broadband service.
The new service, Mobile
Broadband 1000, provides a range of value-added services including a Wi-Fi
hotspot locator from Satellite Navigation Systems, and a text service to
find the nearest wireless access point to your current position.
Freedom4 has expanded its UK
Wi-Fi network with the addition of roaming partnerships with Spectrum
Interactive plc and Briteyellow, taking the total number of hotspots in
the UK to over 4,000 and to 50,000 globally.
With the addition of the 3G
data service, Freedom4 now has the potential to provide wireless broadband
to 99% of UK population, the company says.
Richard Cunliffe, chief
operating officer at Freedom4 Wi-Fi comments, "Our customers want the
fastest possible download speeds available in the UK whilst on the move.
Designed with the user in mind, this service will provide greater speeds,
availability, and functionality."
Highlights of the recent
Freedom4 tests, says the company, include download speeds at 17 Mbps, with
average speeds reaching 2.8 Mbps. Over 600 connections were tested across
the UK.
Pricing for the new Freedom4
service starts from GBP25 per month which includes dongle and any
combination of either 1,000 Mb (1 Gb) of 3G or 1,000 Wi-Fi minutes.
