Overview
Most SMEs require either Internet or Local Area Network (LAN) access from remote locations. Our Corporate Dial-up service has been designed to be cost-effective, easy to implement and manage. It provides remote workers, such as a sales team, reliable access to the Internet, their email and other corporate resources. The administrator manages the service using a simple web-based interface and you can choose whether to use LAN (via IPVPN) or Internet access, depending on your needs.
Benefits
Web-based Administration Interface
This online tool allows the administrator to create User Accounts against allocated ports and phone numbers and easily manage end-users, who can be added, deleted or edited at any time. Click here for an example of the administration interface.
Dedicated phone number(s) and access ports
Similar to an in-house solution, you will have a unique number for each end-user and you won't have the expense of provisioning E1*. Numbers and access ports can be either metered or unmetered, depending on your needs.
Reporting
Reports on port utilisation, user profiling and Web-based Administrator usage will allow you to understand how your employees use the service - providing an essential insight into your business processes and practices.
Flexibility
You choose whether to have Internet or Local Area Network (LAN) access (via IPVPN) for each individual phone number, giving you the flexibility to choose the service type you require for different types of end-users.
Choice
A choice between local access and free-phone numbers** for your designated users.
Pricing
Choose the pricing plan that suits you and your end-users.

* E1 are 30 64Kbps phone lines.
** Free-phone numbers are only available when dialling via a BT line.
