Technology Trends - Web+Center and WiFi Hot Spots
The world of Hot-spots and WiFi connectivity is growing exponentially as businesses, and
industry add "Hot Spots", small areas where wireless Internet connectivity is available
for lap top and Pocket PC users.
Recently in Palo Alto, California, an entire 10 block section of downtown University
Avenue has been wired to provide WiFi to shoppers and customers in those businesses. In
addition to this larger coverage provided, other smaller areas offer free WiFi options
by individual merchants inside or in front of their stores.
Internet Software Sciences saw this trend of free or low cost wireless connectivity
options and developed the latest Web+Center application called the Pocket+Center.
The Pocket+Center is a re-engineered version of the Tech+Center for Pocket PC’s and
Pocket Browsers. It allows almost all of the Tech+Center functionality to be performed
through a Pocket Browser. Many of the newer Pocket PC devices come with built-in WiFi
remote connectivity options making Pocket+Center a reality for many users. Other cell
phone connectivity options for Pocket PC’s perform full roaming options.
What makes the Pocket+Center and the Web+Center suite of web-based Help Desk and
Customer support applications powerful is the flexibility and mobility in a web-based
application. Since the trouble ticket case information and dispatch functionality is
all performed from the back end web server and database, a user does not have to be at
their primary "Desktop" computer to access and dispatch their support cases.
