Mobility is becoming increasingly important for businesses to enable innovation as the pace of technology changes, competition becomes global, and workforces demand flexibility. Apps and cloud services are driving new ways of collaborating using mobile devices. For businesses, embracing mobility through wireless networks and BYOD policies can help attract talent, reduce real estate costs by enabling telework, and improve communication. Implementing mobility strategies requires "rightsizing" networks for mobile use and extending WiFi connectivity in a controlled way while allowing certain consumer apps to improve productivity.
