The iBurst technology is a wide-area mobile broadband technology offering a unique combination of high speed, wide range and high capacity. It is a pure IP, end-to-end system built on two primary components: base stations deployed by a network operator, much like today's cellular services, and wireless modems or PC cards that a customer uses with an existing Internet appliance, such as a notebook computer, to access the service.
The iBurst technology has been designed from the ground up to provide pure data and with the incorporation of IntelliCell technology it is able to provide the wireless data much more efficiently than the voice based cellular networks.
As well as being superior in performance, the data delivery over an iBurst network is also
significantly more economical than voice networks. The data charges for iBurst-based data
are comparable to that charged for wired access such as DSL. In comparison, data transferred
over voice networks can be up to two orders of magnitude more expensive.
The best about iBurst is it allows uninterrupted, high speed and truly mobile Internet connectivity
on-the-go.
