COMPARISONS OF DIFFERENT WIRELESS PROVIDERS

The purpose of this study is to explore the top wireless provider possibilities for our business. It will answer the following questions.
1. Will the devices available provide our employees with their business needs?
2. What are the different technologies available between providers and which are best for our employees?

Our business is looking to take advantage of a wireless service to offer to our employees. The purchase of five new lines will give our district managers the ability to always stay connected and relay important messages. To facilitate growth in the company it is imperative that we maintain a competitive edge and stay up to date in our technological tools.
