A PDA can offer you almost as much power as your home or
office computer if it's used the right way. The PDA was designed
for mobility, and one of the ways to capitalize on the mobility
is to take advantage of wireless networking. There's nothing
like the ability to keep in touch with the outside world without
being confined to a desk! To accomplish total freedom from
your desk.
There are several types of wireless networking available.
One of the fastest growing technologies is called "Wifi
Hotspots". These hotspots give a location the ability
to offer wireless access to their customers or clients, sometimes
free, but usually at a charge. The provider, let's say Starbucks,
provides customers with wireless internet access in their
stores for an hourly charge, or even a monthly charge if you're
a regular customer. All you need is your PDA and a wireless
card. As more companies offer wireless access, it behooves
a PDA owner to always carry a wireless card with them. Many
larger hotel chains now offer wireless access, which is great
when you're on vacation or on the road doing business.
Wireless access in the home might seem like overkill to some,
but "Wow!", what a feeling of freedom without sitting
at a desk or having a 200 degree laptop on your legs (wow,
that smarts!)! Imagine being anywhere in your house, pulling
out your PDA and checking your email or surfing the internet.
Since many computer users are using wireless networks for
their home computers, it's almost a no-brainer to buy a wireless
PDA card. Once you have the card, then you also have the ability
to have internet and email while vacationing or working on
the road.
So here are our assumptions:
- 1 .You currently have a computer in your office that has
high speed internet, either cable or DSL.
- You have a cable/DSL Modem that is attached to your computer
through Ethernet cable (usb cable will not work for this
equipment)
- You would like to use your PDA anywhere in your home
or small office to surf the internet, check your email,
etc.
- You have a PDA with a Compact Flash II (CF) expansion
slot to accommodate a wireless PDA card (wireless cards
for secure digital slots are in the works but not available
yet). The card we will be using is designed for Pocket PC.
There are also cards available for Palm based PDAs if it
has an CF expansion slot.
If you meet the above criteria, then you're ready to set
up your network.
