Internet connection over UMTS/HSPDA

For a regular Internet connection over UMTS/HSPDA, various net providers offer so called “homezone“ tariffs. With this tariff the data transfer within the homezone radio cell is usually far below the costs of the usual mobile tariffs where the data card is used in multiple radio cells.

A special application is the use of a WLAN Access Point with UMTS/ HSPDA connection and LANCOM UMTS/VPN Option as a HotSpot in places without Internet via cable.

1.2.2Mobile conference room

The modern business world requires ever increasing mobility from a growing number of employees. That means that a constant access to e-mails, Internet or to servers at headquarters is becoming more and more important.

A WLAN access point with UMTS/HSPDA connection provides the required flexibility for people who often work in different places. Nearly every modern notebook has a WLAN interface; the only thing missing for mobile Internet or VPN access is a WAN interface. With the wireless Internet access over UMTS/ HSPDA or GPRS, mobile working areas can be created very easily.
