Wireless technology vital to increased business productivity

With the Information Age holding full sway over global commerce, corporate success is increasingly tied to workers’ ability to access information quickly and flexibly to make better-informed business decisions. And as workforces strive to get work done anywhere, anytime, they are turning to mobile technology in ever greater numbers to access business-critical information. According to the survey, wireless projects are coming in several areas, as companies already using wireless branch out further across the enterprise, and new wireless users take the first steps. The result: wireless technology is gaining increasing mainstream traction as an important corporate productivity tool.

That’s been the case with the City of Plano, TX, which has deployed a wireless mesh network to create a mobility corridor for seamless wireless broadband access across the city. According to Dave Stephens, director of technology services for Plano, wireless connectivity has allowed him to extend vital applications out to the field, saving time and helping workers accomplish more.
