Use wireless to make your workspace mobile

The Government is keen on promoting the benefits of fixed-line broadband with the National Broadband Network, but wireless can be a good alternative.

Businesses should examine setting up their own wireless networks in the office. You can give your employees a benefit by allowing them to connect their smartphones and other gadgets to the network.

But going wireless will also allow your workplace to become much more free and mobile. You can move laptops around from room to room without worrying about connecting to a fixed line, downloads will take less time compared to 3G and file sharing will be much easier.

You can also look at installing wireless cards in desktop computers to save room and keep your desks cable-free.
