Mobile technology is exactly what the name implies - technology that is portable. Examples of mobile IT devices include:
- laptop and netbook computers
- palmtop computers or personal digital assistants
- mobile phones and 'smart phones'
- global positioning system (GPS) devices
- wireless debit/credit card payment terminals
Mobile devices can be enabled to use a variety of communications technologies such as:
- wireless fidelity (WiFi) - a type of wireless local area network technology
- Bluetooth - connects mobile devices wirelessly
- 'third generation' (3G), global system for mobile communications (GSM) and general packet radio service (GPRS) data services - data networking services for mobile phones
- dial-up services - data networking services using modems and telephone lines
- virtual private networks - secure access to a private network
It is therefore possible to network the mobile device to a home office or the internet while travelling.
