Businesses prepare to cut cables ~ UK companies signal intention to roll out
Bluetooth and GPRS technologies ~
Over half of companies are planning to implement a wireless strategy this
year to cope with growing demand for more flexible working hours.
A survey, conducted by IT services company, CMG, reveals that 54% of businesses
intend to introduce new wireless initiatives this year to enhance communication
with mobile workers and help them to work more efficiently. Delegates at a
recent industry event stated that 27% of their workforce are currently either
mobile or remote workers.
According to the poll, the favoured wireless standards are Bluetooth and
General Packet Radio Systems (GPRS), which enable cable-free access to email,
business applications and the Internet. Most companies surveyed already have the
correct mobile communications devices in place and simply require the relevant
connectivity platform to be deployed. In 91% of cases, employees maintain
contact with the office via a mobile phone, laptop, or both.
"Using wireless technologies such as GPRS and Bluetooth will transform
the way we work remotely by enabling instant access to real time updates and
fast and simple transfer of data," said Roger Pengilly, management
consultant, Telecoms, Media and Technology (TMT) division at CMG.
"Companies are increasingly understanding the benefits of having
constant contact with their employees. With a wireless infrastructure in place,
employees can work remotely whilst on the train, bus or at an airport and
therefore maximise their productivity when out of the office," he
continued.
