A Whole New World Of Business: Wimax From Greensboro To Atlanta

It used to be that those who were traveling for business got stuck with a lot of the burden of faulty technology

. It was possible to leave from Atlanta, only to get stuck in countless traffic or held up at the airport. By the time a lone and weary business traveler actually made it to the hotel in question, it was often too late to get work done, despite there still being a couple of steps to take care of. And because of this, business travelers who happened to be exhausted would often find themselves heading back downstairs to the car, where driving to the all-night Kinko's would be required thanks to the hotel's wireless internet not working.

While the world of business travel can sometimes be stressful regardless of technology, these days things are far better with the introduction of new methods for getting connected. Those who simply need to stay on top of email rather than sending large missives can use Blackberry or iPhone devices to handle the small communications, without needing to even sit down at a laptop. And for anyone who has a laptop or an external hard drive, there's no stressing about whether or not the right information is going to make it in time for a meeting or a conference.

However, the biggest change to the world of business travel is definitely the introduction of WiMax, a network that actually makes it possible to get online and to stay securely connected from anywhere in the country. Instead of depending on a finite signal that emanates from a limited-ability router, this new network has taken a page from the playbook of the big cell phone companies. This means that the national network focuses on towers that are able to beam a high-speed network to computers, no matter where in the country they might be. This means that conferences in Atlanta are wired, no matter where you might be. Whether at the hotel or sitting in the lobby of a conference room, the only step needed to get online is turning on a laptop. The rest is automatic.

With WiMax, there is also a lot less to stress out about in terms of having access to technology while running late. While airports often do provide Wi-Fi signal, when thousands of people are experiencing a delay, chances are that the signal is not going to be as strong as it needs to be to get things done. But knowing that you can bypass sharing the Greensboro airport Wi-Fi signal and instead are on a secure network means that sending and receiving large files takes mere moments. Best of all, if the plane is delayed on the runway, you are actually able to enjoy the benefits of having a network that goes anywhere that you do while waiting to get back on track.

So whether you're adapting to the new world of business travel or are setting out representing your company for the very first time, it makes sense to keep an eye firmly focused on the latest developments. After all, these new ways of getting things done are going to be the methods that matter in the next few years, and are particularly pertinent today.
