3G private broadband networking
All organisations need to implement data security in depth. A single firewall at the gateway was deemed sufficient 5 years ago. Now with the continuous onslaught of sophisticated threats, organisations now need a seamless solution of integrated firewalls throughout your infrastructure to protect the gateway, applications and remote users. This is even more critical when adding wireless and 3G data connections.
Selecting the right security technologies and vendors needs time, expertise, and in-depth expertise. It takes specialist understanding and expertise to know what is out there, and to cost-effectively implement the right products for individual business needs. That is where Activator UK comes in; we have developed the ACTIV3g managed data service to give secure, managed 3G data networking.
More than just a mobile data connection
SIM-based private connectivity with fixed IP addressing is now enabling the benefits of wireless technology to be used in a wide range of secure business applications, giving the ability to manage the wireless end point for the first time.
Activator UK offer a fixed IP service called ACTIV3g which in simple terms makes the SIM's more secure by layering a private network on top of the mobile networks. This means we can give the SIM card a private fixed IP address every time it connects. You know where your machine is and that gives you total control.
The other advantages are lower airtime costs as the machine is not on the internet, increased monitoring, alerting tools and a service level agreement far better than any mobile network can provide.
A good analogy is that if you buy a GPRS/3G SIM from a network it will always change the IP address (Dynamic) which is a bit like a postman trying to find a house with an ever-changing address. We fix it and then you can contact it via two-way communication whenever you want for the contract duration. This IP address can be a private address (only other mobile devices in your network can connect to each other) or a public IP address, which means that other devices can be allowed access by controlled by firewall policies in the network.
