Kansas City has long enjoyed its status as a cosmopolitan sleeping giant. Especially in the past several years, much attention has been paid to Kansas City as a model of urban renewal in the Midwest, where many cities are struggling to revive local economies. Kansas City has managed to upgrade its image, draw new businesses, and make itself an attractive place to live and work. That's without mentioning the BBQ, which is reason enough to move to Kansas City. Doing business in this sprawling Midwestern metropolis can be difficult though. Suburban cityscape gives way to cornfields with nary an internet caf in sight, making the exchange of information online difficult. For road warriors in KC though, 4G mobile air cards have paved the way for the next generation of online access.
Kansas City is a perfect example of a city that can benefit from new 4G wireless technology. Unlike WiFi technology that requires a router and a fixed cable connection in order to connect, fourth generation wireless technology can be accessed anywhere. Whether it's at a farm, at Arthur Bryant's BBQ (or even Gates BBQ, dare they be mentioned in the same breath), or in the middle of the city it provides the access that businesspeople need. It saves valuable time looking for an internet caf or other location with WiFi access, and it saves money too. Access fees and required coffee purchases add up over time, and with the same amount it would likely be possible to equip yourself or an employee with a mobile air card.
The access itself has the speed, reliability, and quality that you'd expect from a DSL connection. Frequently, the bandwidth and speed is better than a public WiFi connection. This is because it's a dedicated connection, as opposed to many people sharing one wireless router and splitting the bandwidth. With this type of access it's easy to exchange the documents and materials that you need to make your business run. This is especially important with jobs and businesses that lend themselves to field work. When a main office can easily exchange money with personnel in the field, it gets the work done faster and keeps clients happier. Great examples of this would be with construction work, technical companies, and other organizations that rely on fleets of employees in different areas to get work done.
Kansas City is truly poised to become one of the leaders in the Midwestern economy. It has the cosmopolitan attitude of a much larger city, while still maintaining it's down-home charm. And of course, it has the best BBQ in the world to keep workers happy at business meetings and at dinners every night.
