| What Is A Mobile Office? |
Not too long ago, sending data long distances over the air was a languid affair. Thats all changed though with the advent of the crystal clear GSM digital cellular technology. The GSM specification makes it possible to connect a GSM cellular phone to a special GSM data/fax adapter that is plugged into a PC, PDA, notebook or palmtop. You can literally have a "mobile office" sitting snugly inside your coat pocket. The term "mobile office" is generic throughout the world.
These data facilities allow these virtual office workers to send and receive critical business data in real time. One company canvassed expects a 12 to 14 percent increase in productivity in 1999 because of their Portable Office's remote accessibility facilities. To use the GSM data services youll have to buy a phone that supports data and fax as well as special digital data/fax adapters, which come either in PCMCIA PC Card format or in a version - called a Data Services Adapter (DSA) - that plugs into a serial port. You'll also have to arrange with the networks to upgrade your subscription to support data and fax. The applications of this new technology are as diverse as their users.
