Remember the first time you tried Wi-Fi? There was a serious "Wow Factor" as you experienced the freedom to connect without wires. You could move your notebook between rooms or take it outside on the patio while maintaining your high-speed connection. Today, Wi-Fi has become commonplace at popular restaurants, hotels and other venues.

Imagine being able to connect on the move. You could stay in touch and productive on a train, in a car or while riding on a bus or in a taxi. No more begging for a connection when you visit clients or business partners. You'd have access to everything you need from common areas, conference rooms, the company plaza or even a nearby park. For times like these, 3G mobile broadband is a perfect complement to your current iPass connectivity service.

Connect Wherever You Are
There's a lot of talk about mobile broadband services these days. Some call it 3G—others label it mobile broadband. Regardless of what you call it, it's hot. It uses cellular phone networks and an easy-to-install PC card to provide far greater convenience and mobility than other access types.

Being faster than dial-up, mobile data is considered a broadband link. But connections are slower than Wi-Fi. That's why many iPass customers prefer to use Wi-Fi when it's available—in their hotel or an airport, for example. The iPassConnect mobility manager displays both available connection types and makes it incredibly easy to switch between them.

Ask Yourself about Mobile Broadband. Then Ask Your IT Manager.
People choose a mobile broadband service for many reasons. For some, it's a fun, ultra-hip convenience. To others, it's a valuable business tool. To distinguish between the former and latter, ask yourself, "Do you have a real business need for using a 3G mobile broadband service? Would the increased access, greater responsiveness and higher productivity improve your business performance and justify the additional costs?" If the answer is yes, talk to your IT manager about iPass Mobile Data services.

There's a good chance your company qualifies for volume pricing discounts, so it doesn't make sense to purchase your own individual plan. Work through your IT group. iPass offers several features to make life easier for your IT manager, such as volume pricing, performance statistics, consolidated billing and enhanced troubleshooting tools.
