3G Broadband Limitations
Speed
 Slow download and upload times create delays in showing
video clips, downloading clinical trial information, and daily
updates to internal database and CRM tools.
Lack of Mobility
 Unable to use your laptop anywhere you choose, your sales
reps are limited to updating files with important information at
the end of the day when they can find a block of time and a
hotspot to perform the necessary input of information.
Limited Access
Security
 Driving around town looking for a hotspot or heading back to
the office at the end of the day takes up valuable time and
limits your sales team’s productivity.
 Uploading confidential medical information over an unsecured
hotspot connection? How can you ensure a secure
transmission of data?

use of mobile applications

‘3G Capacity Crunch’
Handful filed in past several days cite quality issues,
network connectivity
3G, not WiMax, over-hyped apparently
While being the gold standard for wireless smartphones
has its advantages, Apple Inc.’s iPhone and exclusive,
domestic carrier partner AT&T Mobility may be evolving
into a potential gold mine in the eyes of plaintiffs’
attorneys who continue to pile on one class-action
lawsuit after another.

“The problem with 3G is in the air and the
backhaul. The network was built for narrow
band and now users are downloading video
on iPlayer, on what is essentially a voice
network. In London my calls have started
dropping and on the motorway my phone
drops between cells.”
… UK Blog
“The 3G iPhones [both the 8 GB and 16 GB models] do
not and cannot adequately perform due to the
insufficient 3G bandwidths and AT&T infrastructure.”
From the Jan. 30 class-action lawsuit filed against
Apple and AT&T Mobility in U.S.
District Court for the Southern District of Florida.
