Description & Coverage
Description:

Mobile computing facilitates data transmission without needing to be connected to a fixed physical link. Mobile voice communication is widely established throughout the world and the number of subscribers to various cellular networks has increased considerably over the last few years. An extension of this technology is the ability to send and receive data across these cellular networks. Mobile data communication has become a very important and rapidly evolving technology as it allows users to transmit data from remote locations to other remote or fixed locations. This proves to be the solution to the biggest problem for business people on the move.
