Enterprise Roaming Service

In partnership with iPass, Broadsword provides enterprise connectivity solutions solving the problem of delivering highly reliable remote access solutions with minimal resource and financial expenditure.

iPass is the recognised market leader in this field and has earned this reputation through:

Global Coverage & network redundancy
Users access the iPass global virtual network through a toll-free or local call to over 20,000 dial-up, Wi-Fi and broadband locations in over 150 countries. IPass’ intelligent network redundancy negates concern over network outages or POP service issues as in many countries users have access to 3 or more Tier 1 carrier or business grade ISP network.

Policy Based Security
The iPass Corporate Access service helps secure your corporate network from end to end by empowering IT departments to carefully monitor and control end-user behaviour. Long held security concerns over end-users’ ability to update key platforms such as Anti-Virus software, Personal Firewalls, Operating System and VPN software are easily resolved.

Cost Savings
iPass powered solutions offer the lowest Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for Corporate Remote Access. Leveraging the ubiquity of the internet removes the need for expensive traditional RAS architecture, the inherent resilience in the iPass architecture vastly reduces downtime whilst IT helpdesk’s ability to proactively support users is dramtically increased through leading, real-time Service Quality Management tools.

Simple, Intuitive End User Experience
The iPassConnect™ service interface for PCs, Macs and PDAs provides a simple, consistent interface across multiple access technologies and powerful features to automate global connectivity. True “One-Click” integration enables users to auto-launch VPN sessions without knowing it. Additionally, iPass integrates with existing authentication technologies with minimal effort required.

Market Leading Visibility on User Activity and Billing Information
View daily user activity on-line or via consolidated monthly reports. Companies receive one consistent and accurate invoice for services regardless of access technology used – Wi-Fi, PSTN, ISDN or Hotel Broadband. In partnership with Broadsword, companies can easily allocate and track costs to unique project codes or cost codes.
