We design our connectivity for schools and
no one else. All RM solutions are packed with educational benefits that schools
need.
It's fast. Our ADSL service is available in 2 variants (RM ADSL Max
and RM ADSL2+) so that you can choose the service that best supports your needs.
ADSL Max offers download speeds of up to 8Mbps and upload speeds of up to
1Mbps. ADSL2+ can provide download speeds of up to 20Mbps and upload speeds up
to 1.2Mbps. All speeds are dependent upon geographical location and telephone
line quality.
Managed hardware. We include hardware as standard and fully configure it in
line with your requirements. We only use enterprise level routers to provide a
professional service right down to the hardware.
No download limits. As standard, we have an unlimited
usage and download policy. This means you can focus on using the internet for
what matters, rather than worrying about how much data you've downloaded.
No contention. Contention is the ratio to which available bandwidth is
shared between users. For example, if the broadband service is contended at
20:1, it means that you share your bandwidth connection with up to 19 other
users. We don't add contention to our network, so there is no sharing of
bandwidth across the service. This means you're guaranteed to get full access
to the full capacity of your connection!
Safety. RM's
accredited SafetyNet Plus filtering is included as standard, as well as IWF
(Internet Watch Foundation) filtering. Together they protect your users from
potentially offensive and illegal material and provide peace of mind when
surfing the Internet. Because we know all schools are different, we've designed
SafetyNet Plus so that you can control the level of filtering on your
connection to meet your specific needs.
Security. There's no need to invest in the time, hassle and cost of
an additional firewall, as your school is protected by the firewall on your
router.
In addition to this, we use Network Address Translation (NAT) to hide your
network behind the router and provide protection from external attack. NAT is
automatically delivered on all RM Managed Routers ensuring that learners and
staff are protected.
Support. Our UK based and award winning support team are on hand to
help you on the phone, as well as online. Because we only sell to education,
you can be assured we understand how important a quick and easy resolution is
to you.
Backup. RM
ADSL is a great way to provide your school with connectivity, but it can also
act as a backup service for those schools using fibre connections.
Compatibility. RM connectivity services are fully compatible with our
other products and services.
