Expanding High Speed Broadband Networks

Planning to sign up for UNIFI High Speed Broadband? Or you already have done that and wish to tweak your network to maximise the potential of your new fiber-optic high speed service? Read on, we might just have what you need.

The basic installation package of UNIFI High Speed Broadband for Business subscribers comes bundled with several hardware like FiberHome optical-to-fiber converter (or in some cases a HuaWei or ZTE VDSL modem), a standard modified DLink DIR-615 wireless router and a cordless DECT telephone set. In your business environment, while you can put away the DECT phone if you have no use for them, you can't do them same to the provided DLink DIR-615 wireless router.

The wireless router serves 5 basic function; VLAN, PPPOE tunneling, network address translation, simple firewall and wireless N broadcasting. The UNIFI service has been configured using 802.11q virtual local area network (VLAN) protocol and DLink wireless router has embedded VLAN features, set to recognise these in-coming VLAN identities from TM UNIFI's network. This means it is not possible to simply put away the wireless router and plug in your WAN to UNIFI from an existing business class router/firewall infrastructure.

AxisBasics might just have what you need to link your network to UNIFI, securely and professionally, enabling you to deploy or continue using your own firewall routers, with your own preset input and output traffic rules. UNIFI customers can choose from our range of enterprise class firewall routing solutions from Vyatta or simply an 802.11q VLAN interface to bridge the gap between your network and UNIFI's virtual LAN identities.

If you have not signed up for your High Speed Broadband service, you are also welcome to contact us for consultation. We are experienced to advise you on what to do, what to avoid and how to implement a secure, network infrastructure using UNIFI High Speed Broadband as your gateway to the Internet.

Choose from a one-time buyout or a leased solution. We have both to cater to your budget. Whether you operate a massive data-center with dozens of servers or you are a small business owner with 10 workstations in your workplace, AxisBasics have various network deployment models that will fit your needs and budget. We make UNIFI networks secure and safe for you.

We will share with you what we know and how to make the best out of high speed broadband. Call us at +6013-2697008 we setle for you.

UPLOAD VS. DOWNLOAD, WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?

For the average user, download throughput is the primary metric used when considering the speed of your broadband package to measure the quality of your online experience. Download throughput represents how quickly you can receiveinformation, such as reading email, browsing web pages, downloading content such as music, photos or applications as well as the quality and buffer rate when streaming video.

Because download is more meaningful for popular activities, residential Internet packages are typically asynchronous, and normally download is much faster than upload. An example: 5.0Mbps/1.5Mbps package means 5 megabits of downstream per second, while only a fraction of the upstream at 1.5 megabits per second. Packages vary widely with some having upload as low as 128Kbp/s or just about twice as fast as a dial-up connection. In a future post we will provide suggested download and upload speeds for a variety of online activities.

Naturally, upload speeds are very important if you are hosting information via a web or email server. This is because the upload throughput will determine how quickly other users can access information from your network. Your upload is another person’s download and vice versa. Most residential users aren’t hosting servers, so in that respect upload is typically not a big issue.

However, where upload throughput really matters is when you want to quickly share outbound content from your connection. Examples of these activities include sending an email and uploading photos or video to a website like Facebook, Flickr or YouTube. As more users have a higher need to send large emails and post higher resolution photos and videos to websites, upload is telling a larger part of the whole story. Another increasingly popular use of upload is peer-to-peer (P2P)file sharing programs, such as BitTorrent, where upload is required to continually send content in order to have the privilege of downloading. VoIP, Video Conferencing and Online Gaming also require upload throughput for the bi-directional interactions.

So, depending on what you are looking to do with your broadband connection, be sure to consider upload speed carefully. Remember that although neither are particularly fast, even 256Kbp/s will allow you to upload twice as fast as 128Kbp/s and you’ll appreciate that the next time you upload pictures or send that big email attachment to a friend.
