Bandwidth on Demand (BoD) is a service for automatic bandwidth provisioning. Bandwidth on demand addresses customers’ need for fluctuating bandwidth and this results in customers paying only for the data they use. BoD allows different data transmission rates, depending on the customer’s request, application, and data transmission capability of the system.
This service can be opted for planned/pre-scheduled events and also for sudden/unplanned needs. Most importantly, Bandwidth on Demand accommodates the increasing demands of short duration bandwidth needs for events like online examinations, web casting-live video streaming of sports events, seminars, conferences, medical surgeries, weddings, spiritual gatherings/occasions, etc.
Depending on the feasibility of last-mile connectivity, the key benefits here are that on-demand services provide flexible bandwidth, locations, and connectivity times – three highly compelling.
