These productivity solutions for enterprise businesses are worth the research and possibly the investment to help employees make better use of their time while on the road and out of the office. For specific recommendations for accessories that fit your business, contact Mobile Goods today.
Mobile WiFi Hotspots
Mobile WiFi hot spots are small yet powerful ways to connect employees to the internet wherever they are. Functioning as a mobile router, they connect to a network (which network and how it connects will vary by model) and provide WiFi access to a user’s phone, laptop or tablet (or all three). They’re made to provide faster speeds than a coffee shop connection, plus it’s private so the user isn’t battling for bandwidth, even when connecting multiple devices at one time. It also eliminates security concerns presented by open WiFi networks. For best results, invest in one with extended battery life so an outlet isn’t necessary. Depending on your company’s sales territory, you can pick models that work both nationally and internationally.
Smart Speakerphones
A smart speakerphone can make a big difference in how well that conference call goes. The newest smart speakerphones include voice recognition, and allow users to speak from many feet away from the speaker itself while still being heard. They’re optimized for better connections, with clearer sound and fewer dropped calls. The newest models are built to connect with virtual assistants, such as Siri and Google Assistant. They’re compact and portable, and it’s worthwhile to invest in one with a powerful battery so any space can become a conference room.
Laptop Power Banks and External Batteries
The ability to make any location a work location makes a power bank a solid investment. Power banks are essentially external rechargeable batteries for laptops, extending their usage for hours past their internal battery’s charge. The best models have several ports for charging more than one device at a time. Before purchasing a power bank, make sure its ports are compatible with the specific laptops your company uses.
Flash Drives
Although flash drives (USB drives) have been around for quite awhile, there are some newer versions with advanced security features that are worth researching. Instead of simply hoping employees won’t lose a tiny USB drive with sensitive company data, companies can now invest in new memory stick options. Many of them have a keypad that requires a code before plugging them in; there’s even a new option currently being crowdsourced that has an iris scanner. Although the prices on these secured drives are much higher than a standard drive, the cost may be worthwhile, especially if that $100 could save the company thousands in lost data.
