Details...
There
are many general office mobile computing applications available. We shall
mention one or two as examples for illustrative purposes. Elected
state/provincial government officials are highly mobile, having constantly
to deal with the legislature, constituent offices and other government
officials at municipal or federal levels. While they are mobile, officials
also need to keep in touch with their offices. Many public sector staff move
around campus-like complexes of offices. Wireless LANs can give them the
mobility they need to do their jobs more effectively. For example, the
Indiana state legislature has installed a wireless LAN and provided members
of the legislature with NEC Versa notebooks equipped with wireless AIRLAN/PCMCIA
cards. Along with office automation software and electronic mail, custom
software has been developed to provide legislators with timely access to
bills and proposed amendments, supporting legal documents, and state and
federal constitutions.
