Workforce mobility is a term that's used more and more in recent times.
Traveling employees have been carting notebook computers around for two decades
now, but a notebook isn't a mobile computer, in the modern sense.
A mobile computer isn't designed to allow users to respond to their email and
give PowerPoint presentations on the road. A mobile computer is a data
collection device. They are designed to be extremely rugged, collect data via
barcodes, RFID, or manual user input. Mobile computers are portable enough to
wear on a belt and efficient enough to provide a full day's use from a single
charge.
The mobile computer began its life as a portable data terminal, or PDT. In
those days, data collection was almost exclusively done inside the four walls.
With technological advances such as prolific Wi-Fi and Wireless Wide Area
Network (WWAN) data connections via cellular providers, mobility has taken on
new meaning.
