Mobile internet access with EVDO and HSDPA

Mobile internet access with EVDO and HSDPA

Benefits of wireless broadband

Wireless broadband access might be the hot new thing, but will it benefit your business? If you or your employees work remotely, EVDO or HSDPA technology could make a big difference in how you do business. You can:
Maximize productivity by accessing information and applications remotely at a much higher data transfer rate than with a dial-up modem.
Increase security of email, contacts, and other sensitive information.
Stay in touch and share data anywhere without the need for a wireless hotspot.
Reduce the number of help desk calls from remote employees who are unable to make a connection to the internet using conventional methods.
Enable a single, secure connection for all wireless communications.
No matter what industry you're in, from construction to consulting, your business can benefit from having the information you need, when and where you need it. Here are some real-world examples:
With EVDO or HSPDA technology, your sales executives can access vital information from the customer's site without the hassles of trying to connect to their network.
Your construction foreman can order the building materials his crew needs from the job site and then send someone to pick up the order at the store, saving significant time on the project.
The practical applications of EVDO and HSDPA wireless broadband are as varied as the businesses that implement them.

Get secure transmissions

When deciding whether to implement any mobile internet access solution, consider the security issues involved in accessing sensitive business data remotely. A wireless broadband connection is more secure than a Wi-Fi hotspot, which is essentially a wide-open public access point. For this reason, many businesses forbid access to corporate VPN (virtual private network) and other resources via public Wi-Fi hotspots.
Alternatively, wireless broadband has built-in 128-bit encryption, so the risk of data interception, theft, and modification is significantly reduced. This is the same level of encryption used throughout the internet, and for governmental, banking, and military applications. Your data couldn't be much more secure without being completely inaccessible.
