The Context Machine

Mobile broadband has been advertised as the trendiest technology in the technological world which is the turning point to the development of fast speed connection. Up until a few years ago, high speed connection could be only available on a normal telephone landline, Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line connection, which connects to a personal computer through an ADSL modem or router. Wireless broadband has become increasingly spread, whereby the high speed connection is connected to the PC through a wireless intranet, and internet users are throwing away cables. However mobile broad band is pushing things one step further and offering another innovative idea in the technology of internet; a broadband line pretty much anywhere without using a landline cable.

The prospect of connecting to the internet with a reliable broad-band speed in any room is an attractive concept for potential users, like those who more and more use internet with their computers not from home. People who travel a lot for work are the main obvious target for mobile broad band since they will surely be interested the possibility of not having to search at all for a WiFi public hotspot for a fast internet connection. Mobile high speed connection is going further than that, and as prices soon start to be more and more affordable and internet speeds become faster it might not be long before we witness most of broadband customers applying for mobile high speed broadband.

Mobile high speed internet works by linking a portable modem to your laptop, also called a ‘dongle’, from which your laptop will use the mobile broad-band package the customers have purchased. Most companies are now packaging mobile broad-band deals and coverage of the networks, famous as three G networks, which is now said to be 90% of Great Britain.

Broad band speed is a key issue for any high speed internet connection and mobile broad-band companies at first struggled to market potential mobile users that a mobile high speed internet could perform as fast as conventional, landline high speed broadband. Internet connections are changing, with Vodafone reporting mobile broad band lines up to more than 7 mb, as fast as most of the normal landline broad-band. Some countries, including the UK, are ready to sponsor with lot of money in fibre optic cable networks, in order speed up high speed connection speeds to up to 100 mb.

In New Zealand a leading telecom supplier has claimed that mobile high speed internet networks are going to increase fast over the coming years and they have announced that mobile broad band is going to deliver connections of up to 100mb in the next three years, exactly the year the United Kingdom’s fibre optic network is to be delivered. This could create an important turning point in industry thinking, with the development of a reliable super fast mobile broad-band network with serious advantages over the laying of thousands of miles of fibre optic cables, without mentioning the practical point of view.
