Wireless Technology

In today's fast moving world of technology, everyone's talking about going "wireless". But what does that mean and what are the benefits of wireless computing?
•Wireless working in company premises enables staff with notebook computers to connect to company systems, email and the internet as they move around the office. (mobility and in real time)
•Wireless working enables a wide spectrum of business applications that integrate with ‘head office’ to be used remotely – from salesforce automation, to field service engineering, to financial services. (universal access to information and applications).
•Wireless working creates a productive environment in remote locations, including satellite offices and workers’ homes, to enable staff to utilise their time effectively and to manage their work/life balance.
•Wireless working enables information to be sent and received on the move – via hotspots in airports, hotels, service stations and even coffee shops and on mobile phone networks via GPRS and 3G. (User convenience, timeliness and ability to conduct work anytime and anywhere)
