Bandwidth-On-Demand.

Big Air is Flexible

Scale bandwidth to support the changing demands of hosted Cloud-based applications.

Organisations using Cloud-based applications need all the speed and agility they can muster. Yet too often their location forces them into highly shared and slow DSL, ageing ethernet-over-copper, or expensive fixed-contract fibre.

Enter the BigAir Fixed Wireless Ethernet network.

It connects your organisation directly to the Internet or Layer 2 access network with enterprise security, extremely low contention, and the ability to scale bandwidth to support the changing demands of hosted Cloud-based applications. Deployment is simple too. No digging. No delays.

That's the sort of agility every business needs. It means you only ever pay for the bandwidth you require - and guarantees that you have the performance you need at any time. So when videoconferencing arrives, you simply scale up the bandwidth. Moving more data into the Cloud, scale it up some more.

Let's face it. Retaining a fixed-line Internet connection or Layer 2 access network with fixed performance and fixed cost structure is just no longer appropriate. Balance sheets require variability. So does bandwidth.

Our changing world demands such agility. Both performance and cost structures need to scale with business demands. That’s why our Fixed Wireless service can scale bandwidth on demand, with just one call.

It’s the best of both worlds.

Using our BigAir Fixed Wireless Ethernet network as the backbone, we’re able to connect your business with a contemporary networking infrastructure capable of delivering a synchronous service with enterprise grade security, extremely low contention, and excellent availability with the immediate scalability that only a Fixed Wireless service can provide. That means your organisation enjoys paying for only what it needs, knowing it can meet increased application demands at any time in the future.

For example, you might start with a 10Mbps service and scale to 20, 50, 100Mbps or even 1Gbps (where available) should circumstances change. It only takes one call.

Replace Your Primary Network

Your organisation simply cannot afford to be locked into expensive fixed line arrangements any longer. Leased optical fibre is a “fixed network” usually locking a business into a “fixed bandwidth” commitment at a “fixed cost” for a “fixed time” to a “fixed address”. It all works against the need for greater business agility.

As a result, enterprises everywhere are waking up to the virtues of Fixed Wireless networking where your plan can scale - and your service can move as required. As Australia's leading Fixed Wireless Ethernet service for business, we're even able to deliver up to 1Gbps where location permits. That's the power and flexibility that agile businesses need today to maintain efficient operations.

Back-up Your Primary Network

Your organisation simply cannot afford the down time associated with network outages. Cloud-based applications makes uptime even more critical. However, providing an appropriate back-up has typically required a mirrored version of your existing primary network. That's an expensive solution and does nothing to reduce exposure to the same potential single point of failure affecting your primary links.

A better way is to install a BigAir Fixed Wireless Ethernet service as a back-up to your primary network. For starters, it's an alternate network infrastructure (the air) so it's not typically affected by the same issues that might effect your primary landline network. Secondly, you can reduce the cost of having a redundant link by operating the service at a minimal bandwidth when in “stand-by mode”, and simply scaling it up to match your primary network performance when required. The cost savings are substantial and business continuity is assured.
