Mobile office

From ArticleWorld

A mobile office refers to a physically movable office space, as well as the concept of not working out of one location only.

Office on the go

For salespeople, surveyors and independent contractors, an office that works efficiently can be nothing more than a mobile phone, a laptop, and easy 24-hour Internet access either at hotspots using WiFi, such as hotels, cafés, railway and airport lounges, or less frequently, cybercafes in order to access company servers and Intranet. However, for this kind of office to be reliable, flexible, and easy to work in, users often find a PDA with Bluetooth also a handy device, in addition to a portable bluetooth printer and in parts of the world where WiFi coverage is poor and dial-up facilities erratic, a satellite phone.

Office van on the go

Construction sites, crime scenes, and rescue or disaster areas often require technical and administrative staff with on-site access to a full office. Large trucks or shipping containers are often custom-built for this purpose and equipped with all the trappings of an office, as well as a power source such as a generator or the ability to tap into one, a kitchenette, and portable chemical toilet.
