MOBILE
COMPUTIN
Mobile Computing is a technology that provides an environment that enables
users to transmit data from one device to another device without the use of any
physical link or cables.

G
It is a technology that allows transmission of data, voice and video via computer
or any other wireless enabled device without having to be connected to a fixed
physical link. It is the use of portable computing devices (such as laptop and
handheld computers) in conjunction with mobile communications technologies
to enable users to access the Internet and data on their home or work
computers from anywhere in the world.

MOBILE
is a generic term describing ability to use

COMPUTI
the technology to wirelessly connect to and
use centrally located information and/or
application software through the application

NG
of small, portable, and wireless computing
and communication devices. It provides
decentralized (distributed) computations on
diversified devices, systems, and networks,
which are mobile, synchronized, and
interconnected via mobile communication
standards and protocols.

location
flexibility
This has enabled users to work
from anywhere as long as there is
a connection established. A user
can work without being in a fixed
position. Their mobility ensures
that they are able to carry out
numerous tasks at the same time
and perform their stated jobs.

saves time
The time consumed or wasted
while travelling from different
locations or to the office and back,
has been slashed. One can now
access all the important
documents and files over a secure
channel or portal and work as if
they were on their computer.
ADVAN
TAGES

enhanced
productivity
Users can work efficiently
and effectively from
whichever location they find
comfortable. This in turn
enhances productivity level.
ADVAN
TAGES

ease of
Research has been made easier, since
research
users earlier were required to go to
field and research for facts and feed
the

them back into the system. It has also

made it easier for field officers and
researchers to collect and feed data
from wherever they are without making
unnecessary trips to and from the office
of the field.

entertainment
Video and audio recordings can now be
streamed on-the-go using mobile
computing. It’s easy to access a wide
variety of movies, educational and
informative material. With the improvement
and availability of high speed data
connections at considerable cost, one is
able to get all the entertainment they want
as they browse the internet for streamed
data.

streamlining of
business processes
Business processes are now easily
available through secured connections.
Looking into security issues, adequate
measures have been put in place to ensure
authentication of the user accessing the
services. Some business functions can be
run over secure links and sharing of
information between business partners can
also take place.

quality of
connectivity
One of the disadvantages is that the
mobile devices will need either WiFi
connectivity or mobile netowrk
connectivity such as GPRS, 3G and in
some countries even 4G connectivity that
is why this is a disadvantage because if
you are not near any of these connections
your access to the Internet is very limited.
DISADVA
NTAGES

security concerns
Mobile VPNs are unsafe to connect
to, and also syncing devices might
also lead to security concerns,
accessing a WiFi network can also
be risky becasue WPA and WEP
security can be bypassed easily.
DISADVA
NTAGES

power consumption
Due to the use of batteries in
these devices, these do not tend
to last long, if in a situation where
there is no source of power for
charging then that will certainly
be a let down.
