Wireless Internet Access - helpful information
Wireless internet solutions enable mobile employees to do business virtually anytime and anywhere. By providing them access to the Internet, email, and the ability to connect back to the company network.
As the mobile workforce continues to grow, so does the need for wireless internet solutions. These services provide the connection for the growing number of notebooks, PDA’s and other mobile devices to the Internet. Enabling users to access their email, contacts, files as well as establishing a secure connection back to the company network if required.
Understanding Wireless Internet Access
There are two ways to connect to wireless internet broadband, these being through the use of either a wireless modem or wireless mobile card.
Wireless modem: Generally, a wireless modem will still need to be plugged into a mains power supply, restricting mobility. However for many home or small businesses this does give them the ability to move their wireless modem easily between home and work or when moving to a new office as there is no actual cabling needed. A wireless modem can also be connected to a router, enabling multiple users within the office to share the wireless Internet access. As your business grows and you need to move to a new office, you simply unplug your wireless internet modem and take it with you, reconnecting immediately at your new offices.
Wireless mobile card: Designed specifically for notebooks, the mobile card is plugged into the PC slot, enabling the user to connect directly to the Internet provided they are in a coverage area. This solution is typically used by mobile workers who required anywhere/anytime Internet or VPN access, providing true mobile wireless Internet connection.
