| • | Set up a wireless network in your office: Employees can move from their desk to a conference room to a coworker's office, and have access to all their work. |
| • | Stay connected while traveling: Each day, more and more public locations are "WiFi hotspots." When you're on the road, if you have embedded WiFi in your notebook, it's easy to find a location where you can be connected. |
