Doing the ROI math If mobile professionals can recover 30 minutes of downtime every day through reliable Wi-Fi access, a 100-rep sales force
can gain back thouands of hours of productivity:
Future Innovations
Wi-Fi technology will only get more sophisticated. Laptops will continue to be shipped "Wi-Fi ready," but the most exciting
growth is happening with new devices, such as converged handsets and PDA-like units that offer voice service along with several
types of wireless data access, including Wi-Fi. As Wi-Fi continues to grow and more companies adopt the technology, networks
will need to evolve and expand to meet this demand. Beyond new devices and enhanced network coverage, the technology involved
will become easier to use. Soon, Wi-Fi's ability to increase productivity and bring people together will make sales downtime
a valuable asset.
