New offering which Three says is a UK first allows customers greater control over their information when out of the office
Three has partnered with Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN) to start offering its wholesale partners connectivity over Layer 2 Tunnel Protocol (L2TP).
The service, which Three says is the first of its kind in the UK allows partners or a customers network to assign their own IP address to a mobile broadband dongle or tablet device.
This, Three says means users can gain access to an organisation’s own computer netowrk without the need for a Virtual Private Network (VPN), which allows remote workers to have full use of all documents and resources hosted on a central server when out of the office.
Three director of wholesale Lynda Burton (pictured) says the new offering will allow its cutomers greater use of its 3G network.
“Not only does L2TP improve data routing efficiency for wholesale partners offering the end service, but it also significantly improves the end user experience – enabling them to seamlessly access corporate and education networks,” Burton said.
“To be the first mobile operator to do this underlines Three’s commitment to its wholesale channel and our continuing innovation when it comes to data services.”
