Today’s mobile workforce relies on the versatility, reliability, and security of their devices. Employers from all over the globe recognize that a job or project can be easily thwarted by a technical issue that can cause many hours, even days of delays. In the current mobile economy, it is now more important than ever to have a mobile device that can be relied upon in every situation and environment.
Versatility
A mobile worker needs a versatile device that will perform whenever and wherever it is called upon, no matter what the conditions are. Take the Getac V110 for example: it is compact and lightweight, yet easily converts from an 11.6-inch notebook to a tablet computer. It passes the MIL-STD-810G and IP65 rugged rating, which is a rigorous round of tests that ensure the device will hold up under extreme conditions. The last thing you need is a little bit of rain to cause your tablet to malfunction! With a versatile rugged device, you don’t have to take the environment into consideration, it will perform when you need it, where you need it.
As an employer, it is vital to know that your mobile employees have the right equipment for the job. An often-overlooked piece of equipment that can be just as vital to the success of the job as a rugged device is a reliable printer. Printers and scanners by Brother Mobile Solutions have been designed to meet the specific and complex needs of the mobile workforce. They are extremely durable, robust, and pair easily with rugged tablets and devices. Printing on the go has never been easier.
Connectivity
The mobile workforce knows that wireless connectivity is a key element in job performance, so it is often mission critical to have a strong and reliable signal for your rugged device. At an office, a router is typically stored in a closet to sit peacefully and untouched. That isn’t the case with a mobile worker who needs a strong connection from their vehicle.
A quality router and gateway will extend the secure broadband connectivity for in-vehicle applications. Unlike the router that sits untouched in the closet, the rugged routers and gateways from Sierra Wireless are built to withstand the shock and vibrations from your vehicle. They meet the same MIL-STD-810G tests the rugged tablets meet so you can rely on having connectivity, no matter how harsh driving conditions are.
Security
Security is just as important to the mobile worker as a good rugged device. Having an IT department that is specially trained for secure and rugged connectivity to meet the demands of the job is vital to the success of the mobile workforce. Group Mobile is a “one-stop-shop”, end-to-end solution provider to meet your specific needs. Group Mobile understands that rolling out mobile technology is a very complex project, unique to each business, and requires very detailed planning for successful deployment. Group Mobile has worked through dozens of worldwide mobile deployments for small, medium, and large-scale organizations (exceeding 10,000 mobile workers). A mobile workforce of any size can feel confident knowing that Group Mobile has the right experience, tools, and skills necessary to create a secure, reliable, and versatile mobile work environment.
