Recently we’ve seen some new KA Band services being deployed – while there have been some “teething problems” they do offer more bandwidth at a reduced cost.

To compete with these new services, suppliers of KU band technology are offering new service packages and lower costs.

Depending on the customer application, these services can be more cost effective than the newer KA Band services.

For example, ASTRA are providing faster download speeds now – and their prices have been reduced!

POINT systems can help with advice on the most appropriate solution. Why not give us a call?

1. 1.     It’s the best way to terminate a fibre
   1. a.     the method of terminating (adding connectors directly to the core fibre) mains that quality of the terminations is high and consistent and thus giving guaranteed performance.

1. 2.     It’s the cheapest way to terminate a fibre
   1. a.     the cost of terminating in a factory is less than on-site. This is due to speed at which multiple terminations can be done and also because the termination technique (hot cure oven) is the cheapest form of termination. This cost comparison doesn’t include other costs incurred by an installer of fibre such as capital expenditure on equipment and training of staff.

1. 3.     It’s the only way to produce high volumes in short timescale
   1. a.     high volumes can be terminated on-site but space and set up times often restrict operations. Not to mention the cost of labour on-site to complete large projects escalates when overnight accommodation and travel costs start to be included.

1. 4.     Access to site
   1. a.     time on-site is dramatically reduced. Although using pre-terminated fibre is not a “plug and play” solution when using traditional fibre links, the work on site is simplified to pulling, cleaning, inspecting and testing.

1. 5.     Lead times
   1. a.     with products being delivered in 3 – 5 days it is quicker to order a completed fibre link than order the component parts from a distributor and then wait on-site for the delivery and then terminate

1. 6.     Access to the skills and equipment
   1. a.     with the downsizing of many installation companies and the competition for new work, often installers do not have the in-house capacity to complete a project once it has been won.

So if you want answers to questions such as:

       Who or what is using my network bandwidth?

     What applications are using cpu cycles / memory / disk space?

     How do I monitor virtual servers / VoIP connections?

Then this is what you should do:

First – watch this short (4 minute) video

Here is  the link to the PRTG Introduction video: http://www.youtube.com/user/PaesslerAG#p/u/5/Y33dd_tox68

 Then download the free 30 day trial software

When you’ve run the trial software for a week or two you’ll want to know the price of the software

Contact POINT systems – we’ll help you determine the optimum solution

You’ll be pleasantly surprised at what you get for your investment!

You can use the inbuilt mapping and graphs to determine trends helping to solve problems before they occur

This new technology offers greater bandwidths at competitive pricing.

For example, a 10Mb/4Mb link can be deployed for something like £150 per month

Tests have shown actual throughput at 7Mb/3Mb

There are several applications for this technology:

     Where ADSL is not available or gives poor performance

    When Telecomms providers can not deploy circuits quickly enough

    For critical business links that need resilience

We are hoping that Mobile Solutions will become available soon – watch this space!!

Here are a few comments:

“Webroot SecureAnywhere is truly revolutionary – in a standardized benchmark test, out of a possible 98 points, we scored 90. Our closest competitors scored 62.”

From Passmark Software

Conclusions : 4.75 out of 5 stars
Webroot has gone from being a midlevel competitor to possibly one of the best suites out there. The impact on your computer memory is remarkably low, you could easily beat the installation process in a staring contest it’s so fast, and the features are solid and work well even for a high-end premium security suite. The integrated mobile support bodes well for the future, too.

From CNET Editor

Webroot SecureAnywhere AntiVirus AND Webroot SecureAnywhere Complete won Editors’ Choice from PC Magazine today (scored 4.5 / 5)

http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2393918,00.asp#fbid=5ljhab5um1T

This unusual system definitely works. Webroot detected 100 percent of the sample threats and scored a perfect 10 of 10 points for overall malware blocking, rootkit blocking, and scareware blocking.

Most importantly, Security SaaS provides better protection by blocking threats in the cloud, away from your network. There are no software or hardware purchases, no single-point-of-failure risks, and no unexpected outages and replacements. Service Level Agreements (SLAs) guarantee top quality performance and availability, so you can rest assured you have the highest level of protection.

We can do this at any mainland location in the UK, and it can typically be installed within 2 or 3 days. We can also provide a site survey and decommissioning service.

Two options are available:

• Customer owned equipment – We will manage storage / delivery etc
• POINT Systems owned equipment – Customer pays rental for period of hire

We have recently provided satellite broadband to two major construction companies:

COSTAIN Limited

CROUDACE HOMES Limited

In both cases they had been waiting for a long time for installation of fixed links. They chose POINT systems to deliver a satellite broadband solution

We have just finished our first event in Cowes on the Isle of Wight, and have been extremely impressed with an uninterrupted connection. We would have no hesitation in recommending POINT Systems.

After some analysis and testing Webroot Spy Sweeper was selected as the best solution. We know that this is one of the best products on the market. We were pleased with the ease of installation and manageability.

The product works well and appears to have very little affect on the performance of the PCs.

POINT systems supplied the product for us and they responded well to any questions raised and have been efficient in all areas. I would have no hesitation in recommending their services.
