Newly published information reflects growing use of mobile computing in public sector
SEATTLE, May 5 -- NetMotion Wireless, a leading provider of mobile productivity and management software, today released a new white paper entitled "Mobilizing Public Service" which describes the key role played by its award winning mobile Virtual Private Network (VPN) Mobility XE(TM) in helping government agencies with their mobile deployments.
Long used in law enforcement, fire response and emergency medical services, mobile deployments are finding their way into other branches of government as equipment and service costs decrease, and governments look for new ways to improve efficiency and productivity. The paper describes some of the uses of mobile computing in areas as diverse as law enforcement and emergency response, health and safety inspections, and child and family services.
The paper also explains the elements of a wireless deployment including devices, software and wireless networks; the various challenges presented by a mobile deployment and how to overcome them; and management concerns and best practices for handling authentication, security, visibility, bandwidth management and other issues.
"We have found that government agencies are increasingly interested in mobile deployments," said Pam Cory, Vice President of Marketing for NetMotion Wireless. "We hope that agency directors and managers as well as IT departments find the information in this paper useful for evaluating the potential of these technologies to improve citizen service in their agencies and make better use of taxpayer dollars."
