:: Wireless Overview
Wireless connectivity provides the freedom and flexibility to
work where it’s convenient to work, a conference room, a
hospital room, a classroom, the cafeteria, a lab, a co-worker’s
office, outside at a picnic table. In organizations of all sizes
and types, users benefit from increased productivity thanks to
hand-held terminals and notebook computers that can transmit
real-time information.
“The world is going mobile. If you think you can
ignore the next wave in the digital era, you’re living with your
head in the sand!”
