My company JumpStart Wireless, located in South Florida, has been dealing with the destruction of Hurricane Wilma. We've survived nicely with our co-located servers, our ASP office software, and offsite programmers.
Unfortunately, many of our business colleagues have 100s of staff idle because their wired communication infrastructure is completely down. They now want to know how fast we can implement a wireless application.
Don't wait for a disaster - now is the time to replace your wired communciation infrastructure with wireless.
Here are the results from this week in Florida:
Most reliable communciation services: wireless email and applications. Definitely some delays, but smooth, mostly seamless operation, even during the peak of the storm.
Much less reliable: wireless voice. We commonly do not reach people, calls placed move to voicemail without ever ringing the handset, and calls need to be placed 5-10 times to actually get an outside line.
Totally unreliable: wired lines.
