The mobile broadband market has a new kid on the block – Vivid Wireless was much talked about last year as the next generation product range of the Unwired brand. This week they officially launched their product range in Perth and have already started building their client base. What are they about and why would you consider them. Unless you live in Perth, then this post doesn’t really mean much at the moment but Vivid Wireless has launched a 4G service which is meant to be different and better than 3G because it was built specifically for data transfer whilst 3G was built for voice transmission and expanded to also cater for data.
This is what Vivid Wireless have to say about themselves:
vividwireless is an exciting new company launching a seriously fast 4G wireless Internet network. Initially we are launching in Perth and we’ve got plans to extend our service to other metropolitan centres across Australia.
Until now, Australians have been limited in their choice of wireless broadband services to voice and call providers offering wireless broadband as an add-on over traditional 3G networks.
Our arrival changes all that. The ground-breaking 4G technology that supports our new products and services means we can offer an Internet experience that is seriously fast, portable, affordable and simple to use. Basically its wireless broadband the way you want it to be.
At launch we offer a range of flexible Internet and phone plans (affordable pre-paid and “no contract” monthly subscriptions) that offer great value.
What is going to be really interesting about this offer is their ability to begin integrating TV services into the free downloads area offered by Vivid. Many broadband providers are already doing this with several services eg ABC’s iView.
