Business Applications
Mobile Teams
You are a business services company
such as an accountancy firm, architect’s practice, research organization
or a conference and events company.
Many of your employees work away
from the office in teams at client sites
or at physically remote locations carrying out audits, managing projects,
delivering research or running events
and conferences. To work effectively
the teams need access to the facilities
and shared resources of a permanent
office and quick and easy broadband
access to the Internet.
Solution
The Linksys Wireless-G Router for
3G/UMTS Broadband can establish
a temporary office in an instant. The
team can collaborate on their own Lo-
cal Area Network and share local
peripherals such as printers and storage. All the while they are still able to
access the Internet over a high speed
3G broadband connection whenever
they need it.
Benefits
Teams can be instantly productive
wherever they are located. There’s no
delay in setting up network and communication services and there’s no
reliance on access to third party IT or
Telecoms facilities.
Save on your communications budget
too. When working as a team, instead
of each individual member of the
team connecting to the Internet they
can share a single connection via the
Linksys Wireless-G Router for 3G/UMTS
Broadband.
Portable Offices
You are a construction company and
you need to establish a temporary
office hub at the construction site for
the team of project managers, civil
engineers, quantity surveyors etc. It’s
essential for the delivery of the project
on time and within budget that the
project team is effective from day one.
However, at the site there is currently
no broadband fixed line access. It can
typically take 6 to 8 weeks to order,
install and provision a fixed line.
Added to this, halfway through the
construction project you may need to
move the temporary office 100 yards
away to make room for the next phase
of construction. How will you maintain
your communication links then?
Solution
A mobile office solution at the site can
be created in a moment by utilizing
the Linksys Wireless-G Router for 3G/
UMTS Broadband. You are no longer
dependent upon the timescales of
the broadband fixed line provider for
your communications. The team have
instant shared high speed connectivity
to the Internet and can work collaboratively across the wireless Local
Area Network and share printers and
other connected peripherals just as
they would in a permanent office. The
team now has instant access to email,
calendars, office productivity tools
and the company portal for the most
up to date information. They are able
to quickly download and update CAD
construction diagrams, project plans,
statements of work etc.
