Broadband demystified - thanks to Ericsson

Business IT - Technology

Ericsson Australia is hoping to  demystify broadband terminology and allow users to compare and contrast capabilities of the different broadband access technologies: it has published a guide: "Broadband Made Easy".

The guide "defines terms including satellite, ADSL, ADSL2+, cable modem, 3G/HSPA, fibre, WiMAX and ethernet."   It includes a table that "succinctly compares the real-world capability of different broadband technologies." Industry analysts, Ovum Australia, provided input into the guide, researching carriers and services around the world.

Colin Goodwin, group product manager broadband for Ericsson Australia , said: "We have found that many people are quite understandably confused by the jargon and complications of broadband. As one of the few organisations who are expert in all the main forms of broadband, we set out to make comparing broadband technologies easier for ordinary people."

Ericsson says it will make the guide available on its website www.ericsson.com.au
