Many organizations are using mobile wireless broadband connections from Sprint, Verizon, or AT&T for example.  The speed on the services is amazing – frequently faster than hotel guest networks. But what if you have three users that need to be away from the office working together? Instead of buying 3 of the $60 per month accounts, get a single mobile broadband router. That way, just one $60/month account can provide access to your entire remote workgroup. Check out www.cradlepoint.com – I own the MBR1000 and it is a slick device. I can plug in my Sprint or AT&T data card devices. The router can even be used at an office to provide automatic fail-over to your data card if your office Internet connection goes down – thus allowing your company to stay online during an Internet connection failure! The speed will be slower, but at least your users can still send and receive e-mail. If you have mobile workgroups, this may solve your remote connectivity issues and, if used properly, can enhance your security as well.
