Mobilizing Your Workforce: Motorola's Architectural Approach to Seamless Mobility | 2006-05-01 | Motorola |
| Unfortunately, many companies today are enabling mobility in a piecemeal fashion, using multiple single-point solutions that add to total acquisition and maintenance costs, foster unmanageable "scope creep" over time, and leave gaping security holes. Download this Motorola white paper to learn why you should reject that practice in favor of a more strategic approach that centralizes and standardizes your entire mobile architecture. The paper provides an overview of the MOTOPRO Mobility Suite architecture and how it can help improve operational efficiency and add to your business's bottom line.

Is Wi-Fi Roaming Really Seamless? | 2006-04-24 | JupiterMedia |
| One extremely beneficial aspect of Wi-Fi networks is mobility. For example, a person can walk through a facility while carrying on a conversation over a Wi-Fi phone or downloading a large file from a server. The Wi-Fi radio inside the user device automatically roams from one access point to another as needed to provide seamless connectivity.

Measurements From an 802.11b Mobile Ad Hoc Network | 2006-04-13 | ETH Zurich |
| This paper analyzes the characteristics of a multi-hop 802.11b mobile ad hoc network. The paper presents data gathered from a mobile network of 20 devices carried by test users over 5 days in an indoor environment. The data is analyzed with regard to the number of reachable devices, the node degree, the average path length, the link lifetime, and the route lifetime. Despite the relatively high node density and low node mobility in the setup, frequent network partitioning and considerably high path lengths (as large as 7 hops) are observed. However, the usability of these long paths is questionable as their lifetime is short.

Recognition Green Light for Bluetooth | 2006-04-07 | JupiterMedia |
| It started out as the little technology that could. Today, more people than ever are using the short-range Bluetooth wireless mode of communication to swap files and talk on phones using headsets and earpieces. Since the technology is essentially designed to replace cables, users rely on it to wirelessly print from their notebooks or handheld PCs and connect to other devices such as LCD projectors. Bluetooth awareness increased the most in the U.S, where more than 50 percent of the consumers who took part in a 2005 survey at least recognized the brand name and the technology.
