HP/Compaq today launched a worldwide initiative to provide Public Wireless LAN “hot spots” in public areas such as airports, hotels, restaurants and other locales. This offers mobile professionals affordable, secure high-speed access to email and other business applications using virtually any wireless local area network and mobile access device.
“HP’s Public Wireless LANs are the next frontier of mobile computing, linking mobile workers to their enterprise resources and truly extending the reach of business,” said Ann Livermore, executive vice president, HP Services. “With WLAN solutions already being implemented in airports, retail chains, hotels and other public venues, HP brings considerable expertise in IT infrastructure services and enabling infrastructure to support mobility. HP addresses the full spectrum of the wireless connectivity opportunity better than any other technology company.”
