Original Press Release:



Multenet Routers Receive a Speed Boost with HSUPA



Customer demand met with 15 times the upload speed, at lower cost

Stellenbosch, Western Cape, South Africa -: Multenet Technologies (Pty) Ltd. today announced the launch of its new dual-SIM HSUPA Router - a 3G router supporting 3G, GPRS, EDGE, HSDPA and now HSUPA.

Phil Blain, Multenet's marketing director, says customer demand for higher bandwidth has been greatly exceeded with the new router.

"High-Speed Upload Packet Access allows uploads of 15 times the rate of previous technologies. With HSDPA, a theoretical upload speed of 384Kbps was possible, while HSUPA allows 5.76Mbps (5760Kbps)," he explains.

Blain says Multenet came to the idea for the HSUPA Router when customers asked for a facility to transfer large amounts of data, such as real-time video streaming. Applications such as surveillance made the upload portion of the bandwidth configuration especially critical.

To make it even more attractive, the latest router costs 45% less than its predecessor, the HSDPA variety.

And in addition, Multenet expedited the issue of connectivity, including the steps involved in signing up with ISPs and obtaining SIM cards for routers, and the technically challenging exercise of communicating point-to-point across cellular networks.

Both these issues were resolved with the launch of Multenet's Private APN, a private network specifically designed for Multenet clients. Multenet Private APN clients receive SIM cards with statically assigned IP addresses upon sign-up, and upon activation are immediately able to communicate point-to-point across the cellular network.

Finally, says Blain, the router comes packed with features that make it a secure and reliable connectivity device for both small business and large corporates.

Popular features include:

o Secure Dual-SIM with hidden tray

o High upload speeds with HSUPA

o Ease of configuration through Web interface, and

o Hassle-free upgrades
