 mobile technology notebook computers with the Cisco IP Communicator soft phone 

application running in a wireless network environment. With the Cisco and Intel solution, Shanghai GM achieved communication goals that 

included the reduction of operating expenses and the improvement of seamless communications to gain a competitive advantage through 

faster response to market changes. 

Cisco and Intel recognize that technology adoption must be driven by a tangible business case.  The following are examples of  

how the two companies have worked to increase the business relevance of wireless and mobility: 

•  Joint research initiatives with leading industry analyst firms to define ROI models for pervasive wireless adoption and the use  

of mobility services. 

•  A focus on delivering solutions capable of supporting mission critical business application 

The new generation of standards, technologies and products are busting the outdated myths that have kept IT from deploying pervasive, 

enterprise-wide wireless networks. Cisco Systems and Intel are at the forefront of building solutions that deliver business value, while at  

the same time eliminating the remaining barriers to adoption. As a result, adopters of wireless technologies are experiencing tangible 

improvements in productivity that is delivering a quantifiable return on investment. The impact of issues such as security and management  

is being dramatically reduced through a continued focus on delivering standards-based improvements. New technology architectures have 

decreased the complexity of deployment and ongoing support, which in turn decreases the resources required to maintain a pervasive  

wireless network. 

These improvements, in combination with exciting new wireless LAN mobility services like voice, location, guest access, and advanced 

security, derive even more value from a wireless solution. Only through a pervasive wireless deployment can business equip itself with the  

tools required to continue to increase productivity, retain customers and employees, and drive incremental value, revenue growth, and 

competitive advantage.
