Mobile Broadband is Good News for Small Businesses
According to a report released recently by Analysys Mason, the telecoms analyst company, mobile broadband could bring cheer to small businesses reeling under the post recession pressures.
The report, which highlights how mobile broadband can be a cost cutting proposition for businesses compares this technology with competing technologies like WiFi. Analysys Mason says that while using WiFi can result in total costs of about £700 per employee, mobile broadband can bring these costs down to as little as £10 a month.
Mobile broadband thus has a much shorter payback period (six months according to the report), and it can lead to substantial savings, when the effects of this technology are considered for the whole company.
Steve Hilton, who authored the report, and works as Principle Analyst with the company, said that along with cost savings, mobile broadband also brings several other advantages to businesses. He said that not only is mobile broadband more reliable than the traditional WiFi technology, it also gives a lot of flexibility to employees in terms of coverage.
Employees don’t have to be near the hotspots to be able to get online, as with a mobile broadband dongle they can get online practically anywhere they want to. This, he said, was a good enough reason for companies to consider moving to mobile broadband as the preferred connectivity solution.
