NETWORK
Wireless broadband Internet services are provided using the radio infrastructure of the Midas S.A. Group (Mobyland, CenterNet and Aero2) and Polkomtel. Following an agreement executed with Mobyland, we gained access to LTE and HSPA+ data transfer at 1800 MHz and 900 MHz, whereas the trilateral agreement with Mobyland and Polkomtel Sp. z o.o. provided for the use of EDGE/GPRS and HSPA wireless data transfer at frequencies in the 900 MHz and 2100 MHz range.
In January 2012, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) defined another mobile standard and decided that both “LTE-Advanced” and ‘WirelessMAN-Advanced‘ technologies will operate under the name IMT-Advanced. In the future, IMT-Advanced will substitute the IMT-2000 standard, in development since 2000 and commonly known as 3G. The target speed of technologies compliant with the IMT-Advanced standard will be 100 Mbps in movement (when travelling by car) and 1 Gbps when stationary (through the mobile network). 4G is still an undefined standard, but the term is employed by operators using LTE, HSPA+ and WiMax solutions.
INTERNET EQUIPMENT
In order to provide LTE-based broadband Internet access, we use the most advanced modems, which are also compliant with HSPA/HSPA+ and EDGE/GPRS technologies. Thanks to this solution, the customers of Cyfrowy Polsat can use a single modem to access the Internet through LTE or HSPA/HSPA+ services, as well as the EDGE/GPRS network, which covers the entire territory of Poland.
At present, we offer three such modems:
- Huawei E3276 – enabling data transfer with speeds of up to 150 Mbps;
- Huawei E398 – enabling data transfer with speeds of up to 100 Mbps;/li>
- ZTE MF821 – enabling data transfer with speeds of up to 100 Mbps.
Other HSPA-ready modems include Cyfrowy Polsat B150, ZTE MF668, ZTE MF669, Huawei E367, and Huawei E182E/Huawei E182E MIMO.
Our subscribers may also choose Samsung Galaxy tab 8.9 LTE – the first tablet on the market which supports LTE Internet with transfer speed of up to 100 Mbps. The device is also compatible with the HSPA+ standard. Our offer includes two other tablets: the Manta MID9701 9.7’’ Wi-Fi and the Ferguson S3 7’’ Wi-FI DVB-T (with a built-in DVB-T tuner and GPS), as well as the Acer Aspire E1, a Windows 8 laptop providing a quick and easy Internet connection through a modem.
Furthermore, we offer several types of router devices, including ZTE MF60, the first mobile router to support HSPA+, HSPA, UMTS, EDGE and GPRS technologies.
