Wireless: Breaking the shackles



We look at four examples of the way mobile technologies such as GPRS and 802.11 are giving Australian businesses the opportunity to bring the benefits of connectivity to mobile workers, whether they roam within buildings or are out in the field.

Admit it: the only reason you decided to implement a wireless network was the chance to play with some cool new toys. Business case? Return on in-what? But of course in the real world, the just-plain-cool argument rarely cuts the mustard, so it's good to know that wireless and mobile technologies aren't only cool, they're also helping workers achieve new levels of efficiency and allowing new types of work to be done.

The big challenge, of course, comes in allowing your existing applications to work with new wireless and mobile devices. Most applications are designed to work with desktops, and the challegnes go well beyond a smaller screen size. So to give you an idea of how it all works, this month we're going to look at four examples of companies who have successfully integrated their applications with mobile devices.
