International Wireless Standards: The new generations of wireless technologies present users with the ability to get the most out of mobilized software technology. Developers and ISVs have a tremendous opportunity to succeed in this growing wireless market by creating the wireless solutions that will leverage these new standards. Learn more about the description of Bluetooth technology, applications of Bluetooth technology, and new International wireless standards.

Developers will have soon access to an unprecedented breadth of wireless standards that will increase the range, speed, and quality of wireless connectivity. By enabling new wireless functionality, these standards generate opportunity for developers and ISVs to satisfy new markets for wireless solutions.

Despite the rapid progress that wireless networking has made in the past several years, certain limitations of the technology have been inescapable. The new 802.11g specification combines the speed of 802.11a and the range of 802.11b, but the reach of public networks continues to be limited by the relatively short range of 802.11 in general.

Mobilized software has made great strides in addressing the needs of business solutions, in terms of providing solutions that function well in an environment of sporadic connectivity. Mobilized solutions employ means such as locally caching data from back-end systems, providing asynchronous messaging, and allowing session persistence through connection and disconnection cycles.

While Wi-Fi LANs are tremendously useful in homes, businesses, and public areas, their small cell sizes present challenges to solutions whose users cover large areas, such as field personnel and fleet vehicles, even with properly mobilized software. Issues arise, for example, when multiple disconnected users need updates from each other.
