Stop Looking for It: Be the Hot Spot

How to turn your cell phone into a WiFi hotspot.

Locating a hotspot can now be as simple as reaching into your computer bag and connecting your mobile phone to a personal, wireless router. Boise, Idaho-based Cradlepoint, Inc has created the Personal Hotspot (PHS300), which broadcasts a private and instant WiFi signal when connected to a mobile phone. The combination gives your laptop, iPod Touch, WiFi camera, or any WiFi-enabled device, a direct connection to cyberspace through the cellular handset. Now there’s no reason to go without internet access in areas where WiFi is non-existent - one need only a cellular signal.

National Geographic Goes Abroad

National Geographic and Cellular Abroad team-up to soothe the traveler’s long time gripe and give cellular retailers a new market to lure.

When is your cell phone a mortgage? When you’ve forgotten to ask the per-minute rate for out-of-country roaming. U.S. travelers complain about the lack of affordable cellular options when they travel overseas and have often been gouged by thousand dollar phone bills upon returning home. Staying true to the company’s motto “One World One Phone”, Cellular Abroad joins forces with National Geographic to create a travel necessity: an affordable travel phone solution.

Collaboration through Accounting

Reading sales reports won't tell you if you're profitable

One of the most powerful tools in business is collaboration. In the cellular retail environment, there are three collaborative entities that depend on the same data for smooth operation. They consist of: front office sales, activations, and customer management; supply chain and inventory control; and finally finance and HR. Keeping these entities tightly networked through accurate information may mean the difference between your business humming along smoothly or being bled dry by inefficiency and wasted effort. If the accounting, POS, and carrier activation systems are not fully integrated, then information is being entered more than once. So whether double entries are related to your customers, employees, or products, they cause gaps in your collaborative network.
