Finding Cable Internet in Rural Areas
The Internet first came into residential homes in the early 90′s. Back then, the only type of connection available was through a dial up modem. It was loud and slow, but it let us view millions of websites and chat with people from around the world. There would be many times when you would be deep into a conversation in a chat room and someone in your home would want to use the phone. Because your computer uses the phone line to connect to the Internet, you would have to disconnect in order to use the phone. Another disadvantage of dial up is the fact that it takes forever to download anything larger than a few megabytes.
GPS Tracking in the Work Place
GPS (Global Positioning System) Tracking technology was first introduced into systems used by the US Department of Defence back in 1973. Prior to that the technology had been undergoing design and investment dating back as far as the 1960s. 24 satellites were launched between 1989 and 1994 as the US declared that the technology was to be made available for civilian use in 1983.
GPS Technology allows us to pinpoint the exact location of devices, in real time, as they travel around the earth making it an ideal solution for tracking assets, vehicles and personnel.
