Wireless e-Business
Our wireless e-business solution allows
organisations to communicate and transact in business via wireless technology,
without physical connectivity, such as wires or cabling. Wireless e-business
uses devices including mobile phones, pagers and palm-powered personal computers
(PC), pocket PCs as well as desktop computers, printers and projectors.
There are three types of wireless platforms: Fixed wireless - Wireless devices or systems in homes and offices
Portable wireless - Battery-powered wireless
devices outside the office. For example, mobile phones, pagers and laptops
Infrared wireless - Conveys data via infrared
radiation, through limited-range communications systems such as headsets, mouses,
modems and printers We offer wireless technology through:
Short Messaging Service (SMS) - Provides a cost-effective, efficient and
discreet messaging platform suitable for managing out of the office workforce
Bluetooth - Provides short-range radio links,
enabling users to connect to a wide range of computing and telecommunications
devices without the need to buy, carry or connect cables
Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) - A
global, open standard giving mobile users access to Internet services through
handheld devices, without the need to connect to a separate laptop or data
enabled device General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) - A mobile network technology where data is sent and received
far more efficiently than on current mobile networks, thereby delivering
significant improvements for users sending small or large volumes of data
Third-generation technology (3G) - Similar to
GPRS, yet provided at higher speed. 3G is a specification for the third
generation (analogue cellular was the first generation, digital the second) of
mobile communications technology. 3G promises increased bandwidth in fixed
applications. 3G will work over wireless interfaces
The benefits in applying our wireless technology can include:
Mobility - Rapid and easy implementation of a wireless based PC network in a
new office location Simplicity - Greater simplicity for mobile users in obtaining access to a network
Flexibility - The creation of a highly
flexible work environment where work groups can easily form and dissolve
Cost reduction - By avoiding costly cabling
and other expensive hardware components
