Extending Networks Beyond the

Desktop

In today’s competitive business

environment, continuous network

access is essential to any organization’s

success. At the same time, mobile

professionals can no longer afford to

be tied down by wiring installations.

In order to be as productive as pos-

sible, people need the freedom to

roam yet stay connected.
