What is Europacom’s Aphelion?
Aphelion is a fully-managed and secure WiFi environment that enables multiple WiFi devices to connect to your protected network. Aphelion is the system for your business whether you require 'Public Hotspots' or private networks where it is ideal for:
What does it do?
In short, it will give your company a wireless network fit for the 21st Century, allowing you to add new services and products to take fractional advantage of unused capacity on your broadband connection. Wireless enabled networks are much more flexible to manage, negating the need for expensive installations as new services are added and multiple devices and services can run simultaneously, securely and independently of each other. Why upgrade my network with Aphelion? WiFi has traditionally been both a customer and an ISPs nightmare as local control puts premises at a significant security and quality of service risk. Aphelion is a fully managed WiFi service, that will not only ensure that there is ubiquitous wireless coverage where it is required, but also that security and bandwidth are not compromised which we do through proactive quality of service prioritisation. Organisations that are able to install secure WiFi will furthermore have a much more flexible communications infrastructure and will reduce traditional cabling costs throughout their buildings.
The significant defining feature of Aphelion is the quality of the remote management. Subject to the specification required Aphelion Access Points (AAP) can be centrally managed and monitored. This means considerably fewer false positives in terms of suspected service issues and adds the ability to monitor the service right the way down to the wireless client level.
Europacom's Aphelion provides the network environment for devices to connect to the web, corporate network, security systems and telephony systems. Aphelion supports - simultaneously - your key business applications, including 'hotspots' for public use. Aphelion is a fully managed service which includes network hardware, as well as the broadband connection allowing you to benefit from the freedom to roam, hot desk or...work anywhere.
Who uses it?
Growth in managed WiFi is extensive with more and more organisations seeing the benefits and requirement for a managed service. For example, pubs, restaurants and retail outlets are able to maximise their sales opportunities by speeding up card transactions by taking the Chip & Pin handsets directly to the public, and a fast public hotspot service draws customers into the business premises. Using Aphelion, companies such as TCG Acquisitions Ltd have been able to reduce their call costs with VoIP calls over their managed WiFi network, and the Chip & Pin facility has not only given them faster transactions but also has allowed them to rationalise the number of lines they previously needed, as now simultaneous WiFi transactions can be undertaken on the same connection. Aphelion has also enabled them to train their people in-house using WiFi enabled Laptops. Similarly Marston’s Breweries are meeting customer demand by rolling out Aphelion throughout their pubs and hotels, not only improving their service offering but enabling them to extend their opportunistic opening hours to a new audience. |
