iPass Mobile Data Service: Go and the Network Will Follow

It's a big world out there. And there are still lots of places without phone jacks, Ethernet ports or Wi-Fi hotspots—like taxis, trains, customer lobbies and small towns. Until now, mobile users have often had to go it alone, without connectivity to the Internet or corporate network resources as they traveled from one place to the next. And when they go it alone, they expose their company to security risks, cost control issues and IT management difficulties. Thankfully, those days are no more.

Mobile Data Catches the Eye of Enterprise Users

With iPass Mobile Broadband - 3G wireless internet service, your mobile workers can now get connected virtually anywhere, anytime. They can work from remote locations, like insurance adjusters and real estate agents often do, and have on-demand connectivity. They can meet with clients, and gain immediate access. Or they can even make connections while in transit—from cars, trains and buses. With coverage that extends globally, mobile users never again have to be out of touch with the office.

There's Strength in Unity

The iPass Mobile Broadband Service is great for IT managers as well. As 3G wireless broadband internet has increased in popularity, many mobile employees have started adopting the technology on their own. This has left IT out of the loop, with many of these mobile users bypassing corporate security procedures to gain mobile data access and increase their productivity. What's more, many of these early adopters are your executives, top salespersons and VIP customers—those who can place high demands on your help desk even for unsanctioned services. Thanks to the inclusion of mobile broadband service into the iPass global virtual network, IT no longer has to be out of control of this access type.

The Start of Something Good

With this service option to the iPass Mobile Office, iPass offers Mobile Broadband for laptops in over 9 countries as a part of its global virtual network. These third-generation (3G) services provide between 40 and 300 kbps wireless data connections.
