Pacific Internet joins wireless market

Pacific Internet is the latest Internet Service Provider (ISP) to join the wireless broadband fray, today launching a service based on the iBurst technology.

The ISP -- which claims 20,000 corporate customers -- said it would resell Personal Broadband Australia's (PBA) iBurst modem as part of its PacNet Wireless Professional service.

"[PBA] are the only wholesale wireless provider in Australia that can sufficiently service our customer bases' needs, with significant coverage in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Canberra," Julie Cleeland Nicholls, general manager, marketing, said.

Competing ISPs such as Ozemail and People Telecom already resell the iBurst product.

One of the first corporate users of the service will be Raine and Horne Queensland. The company will allow its sales representatives to roam when out of the office.

"Real estate agents are always out of the office [and] so need wireless Internet access from their car or home to check property details, receive client e-mails and to access business systems," Raine and Horne Queensland chief executive officer, Stephen Sharry, said.

    This has to be the most expensive iburst provider in the market.
