M2M provider offering dedicated "speedy boarding" service to tablet users

26 January 2012

UK M2M service provider Stream Communications is launching a product that promises iPad and tablet owners faster browsing and download speeds. The company's FreeFlow product offers users a dedicated 3G SIM that will piggyback on Stream's managed M2M network, delivering optimised access to the end user.

Stream said that it had augmented its existing mobile infrastructure, originally developed for machine to machine communications, to meet the specific needs of iPad and Android tablet users. The company said that anyone in the UK with an iPad or tablet PC running a freeflow 3G SIM will be able to experience a vastly improved experience, both in terms of reliability and download speed.

Stream said that FreeFlow download times could be up to 50% faster than a standard 3G connection.

Nigel Chadwick, founding Director of Stream Communications, told Mobile Europe, "Stream has over the past couple of years designed and implemented an infrastructure that is built to provide a very high quality of data transit across its network backbone.

"Many different elements when combined, and properly managed, allow us provide a truly end to end optimised service. For the past decade, Stream has focused exclusively on providing robust, efficient and resilient data connections for M2M and this is now being applied to services for iPad and Smart Tablet users of 3G."
