The Wireless Mobile Office

Written on January 24, 2011 – 2:58 pm | by Matthew Hovell

If you’re like most business and professional people, you’ve probably accumulated quite a collection of wireless devices — some you use, some you don’t use, some which don’t work well with the others, and some you wonder “Why did I get this thing in the first place?”

Maybe it’s time to step back and take a systematic look at how your wireless mobile office is organized. What do you really need? Which service plans and connections make sense for you? What are the best ways to use your wireless devices and keep them secure?

This tight little online course (also available as a self-study PDF download) will help you answer all these questions.
