subject: Carefree Conferences: Business Travel And Wimax From Las Vegas To Chicago [print this page]


The world of business travel can sometimes feel like a bit more trouble than it's actually worth. After all, for a responsible worker who is used to living in an environment where getting things done is simple and straightforward, being outside of one's element can be a bit troublesome. This is particularly true when technology is concerned. Nothing can throw a wrench into the gears of careful planning quite like suddenly finding out that there's a complete lack of something absolutely essential for getting work done. And too often, a business traveler might land in Las Vegas expecting a reliable wireless internet connection in a hotel room, only to find that a late-night trip to the nearest Kinko's is in order.

However, seasoned business travelers and those who are particularly tech-savvy understand that there are more options available today than ever before when it comes to staying wired and connected on the road. This is because it's not just business travelers who have gotten sick of the shortcomings of traditional wireless internet, which requires that those users are within a certain amount of feet from the router providing the signal in the first place. This isn't a beneficial relationship when it comes to Wi-Fi for most people, especially when the fact that multiple people on the same network means a serious lag is factored into the question. Whether simply checking mail from a Starbucks or trying to get that crucial last-minute report downloaded before heading into a big Chicago meeting, the right access to the web is something more and more people are relying on to make their days work properly.

Making a day work properly is far easier with the reliable connection powers of WiMax, which has figured out the shortcomings of traditional Wi-Fi while figuring out how to improve upon them exponentially. Instead of focusing on a single router with a static location, this new form of staying online figured out the best way to take the tower format used for cell phone reception and to then apply it to getting online. This means that connections are reliable and mobile at the same time. Because the towers are spread across the country, it is possible for users to actually keep a laptop turned on the entire drive from Las Vegas to Chicago, staying online the whole time. That's definitely a huge step forward in the notion of what a wireless connection should be able to do for anyone.

And for those who hit the road for business purposes, being able to stay online like this means the chance to spend less time searching for a way to get connected, and a whole lot more of an opportunity to get work done. This means that business will always be as usual, since the connection will always be strong. And not having to depend on connections offered by hotels and conference centers means that everything will always be up to speed without venturing out in the middle of the night. That's definitely a step in the right direction.
