Wireless Bypass

We’ve all come to understand how essential wireless internet is when at work, for checking email, and keeping up with friends on Facebook.  But, what about driving a car?   As oil supplies dwindle and environmental efficiency becomes an increasingly important topic, many car-sharing companies are emerging.  One of the better known of these businesses is Zipcar.  When you become a member of Zipcar you can reserve a car of your choice from a location of your choice at the time you need it.  You then simply unlock the car, drive it as you need and return it when you’re done.  This system is environmentally friendly because it reduces the amount of cars on the road, the amount of miles each person is driving, and many of the vehicles are hybrid cars.

The universe of wireless internet technologies has really come an incredibly long way since the first cell phones were equipped with web navigation capabilities back in the early 1990s.  Since then, successive revolutions within this field of modern telecommunications technology have riveted the wireless internet-using population, opening up new possibilities that many of us wouldn’t have been expecting for another 10 or 20 years!  Among the most significant strides forward to be made in recent years have been the arrival of fourth generation mobile standards, the ability to use wireless signals from stationary locations and the increasingly reliable, non-patchy nature of wireless networks in the nation’s principal urban (and increasingly suburban) communities.

If you ask wireless internet users what they are looking for most, you’ll probably find one answer continuing to pop up: great service in all places from one provider.  It sounds simple, but it has been by no means easy to get such service from an internet provider.

What would it take for total wireless access to happen?  First of all, there would have to be the network which can get it all done, especially on the mobile front.  Wired networks obviously can’t, since there are going to be places which are almost out of bounds where people will need to use the internet on the road.  The latest wireless networks cannot cover entire states yet, but they can cover entire metropolitan areas with high speed internet.

There are always different factions within the tech-loving community.  On one hand, you have the text message and Facebook lovers who need to communicate 24/7 and whose life seems to be a big social network.  On the other hand, you have the businessmen and women who need to stay on top of the latest information so they can close the big deals and never be out of the loop.  Other factions include the newshounds and sports junkies.

So who can get the most out of wireless internet and who is winning so far? (more…)

Everyone has a different idea of what wireless internet can do for him or her on a daily basis, but many people are not seeing the potential to go from morning to night with a strong wireless signal.

Are you missing out on what you can do with wireless internet?  Here are some ideas on going from daybreak to midnight with your connection:

Morning: Sneak out to your backyard with a laptop before anyone in your house wakes up.  Get your late or early emails out of the way and see what lies before you at work.  On your way to the office, keep your head clear by watching the news stream live onto your smart phone or laptop.  If you’re watching the kids, let them stay occupied with a movie on your laptop while you’re dealing with a traffic jam.

If you’re getting online these days, chances are you are using some sort of mobile technology. And while a lot of people might count their cell phones and mp3 players as the devices that they go to when on the road, the fact is that the absolute best way to get online is always your own computer. You’re just not going to be able to send important emails if you are typing away on a touchscreen, and it’s not going to be feasible to do serious web sleuthing if  you are getting jostled around on the subway. You need a good balance of wireless internet and the right technology to make sure that you get the most of your time on the road.

Here are five reasons that using wireless on a computer is a whole lot better than thinking you are pulling one over by sitting there trying to write an email from your mobile phone or music player.

#1 – A laptop isn’t that much of a limitation. With the new types of wireless including connections that you can take anywhere, there is no longer the trouble of trying to figure out where you are going to get a network connection for your laptop. This means you can be practically anywhere, and still be online. (more…)
