In addition to the familiar use of wireless for voice communications,
many organizations are now using wireless to provide data
network connectivity to mobile workers.
A service business might send service call information
to a truck in the field. The technician can respond directly
and immediately with information allow for rapid billing,
increasing cash flow.
Mobile data computers, PDA's and radios with built in messaging
can receive and send email, text messaging, alerts and other
vital information without delay.
Public Safety users can receive details related to a dispatch
with improved privacy compared to voice communications.
In addition, reports can be filed directly, reducing paperwork.
