Abstract

This paper explores how different mobile communications technologies combined together have the potential to significantly change the way we work. Mobile telephony combining satellite and terrestrial cellular systems already has transformed the way people work by allowing “anytime, anywhere” telephone calling and text messaging. However, wireless data has not met the “anytime, anywhere” criteria due to problems with cost, power consumption, compatibility, and bit rate. Not all information should be available anytime, anywhere. The key is to provide information conveniently as quickly and easily as possible when needed and where needed. The evolution of different mobile technologies that consider different needs for time-and space-related information is providing a new capability, personal area networks (PANs), with the potential to change the way we work.
