Subject: [SCIP] What use is wireless? Virtual Festival event


> Hello all
>
> We're running an event about wireless technology next week as part of
> the Virtual Festival that may be of interest to some of you.
>
> Tues 21 September
> How can Mobile technology help your business?
> eBusiness Club event with Wired Sussex and Sussex Enterprise
>
> Based on that introduction you may be surprised to learn that it's
> not intended to be a techie event, but is aimed at business people
> who want to know what wireless technology is all about and what it
> can do for their business, like saving money, improving efficiency or
> helping with internal and external communications. Which would seem
> equally relevant to most community organisations?
>
> It's at Koba, 6 - 8pm on Tuesday 21st September.
> That's on Western Road, next to Waitrose, and it's free [and there's
> a free drink!]
>
> More details below - let me know if you want to come along.

> The session will include:
> The options small businesses have when considering:
> * the alternatives to traditional (i.e. cabled) networks,
> * communications issues with 'remote' staff (working from home etc)
> and on the road.
>
> We will be looking at:
> * The application, pros and cons of using wireless networks (WIFI) in
> offices; how this can be integrated with their 'old' networks and
> what issues they may face.
> * Where companies have employees working from home or other
> locations, then there are other issues to consider such as high speed
> internet access, keeping data secure but still allowing these people
> to get into the systems, and there are many, many others.
> * What future developments may be useful to them to allow mobile
> connectivity (email, internet access) on the move e.g. Blackberry
>
> Speakers:
> Alex Studd, Moving-Edge
> Matt Ryan, Loose Connection
> Tom Hume, Future Platforms
