JANET (UK), the UK's education and research network, has announced the launch of its new high capacity data service for education institutions and research organisations, JANET 3G.
From June 2011, the data service will allow academic and support staff to remotely access vital resources such as research data, virtual learning environments and library catalogues while on the move. The service has already received over 60 enquiries in the first week of its launch, from both universities and colleges.
JANET 3G has been developed to provide a range of 3G data packages that combine value-for-money with features specifically configured for the education sector. It is designed to be easy to deploy, helping organisations to make the most of their existing investment in wireless networking. Offering seamless integration with the international roaming service, eduroam, their existing authentication mechanism can be used for mobile users, making security configuration much simpler.
By enabling the use of an organisation's existing IP addresses, JANET 3G also makes firewall configuration much easier.
Educational organisations are offered a wide selection of price plans enabling them to precisely match their users' needs while keeping control over costs. Data packages available range from low usage machine-to-machine plans to genuine 15 Gb data allowances for demanding users, providing a real breadth of choice.
