Vlocity is in the process of joining networks across the country. Many existing wireless companies in remote regions have an existing client base but can lack the national footprint required to get into larger corporate type companies.

Often these regional providers cannot reach critical mass to enable more cost effective services other than local ADSL.

ISP in a Box attempts to bridge that gap.

The ISP in a Box service (ISPIAB) and equipment is designed to enable the regional providers to have access to high speed data services and ISP services that we provide. Effectively this is a service which can extend the existing services that other WISPS are currently providing.

The facility is also a get up and go service. By installing the hardware, server and ADSL lines, an operator can be up and running in a matter of days. The product includes our management software that performs tasks like mail spooling, servicing and relaying, Radius management of users, VOIP service provisioning and billing.

It also includes all the software required to monitor the entire network. It includes a link to the main Vlocity support centre where we provide national support together with the localised operation.

• Obtain multiple ADSL lines in a region
• Install the ISPIAB equipment and server
• Install the first tower
• Start selling services.

• Small satellite companies can open up in suburbs within the larger cities.
• Access to a national network, thereby opening up national access to local companies within the region.
• Revenue sharing on clients brought into the region by Vlocity.
• Technical experience and support from a national company with vast experience in the field.
