Many enterprises today use LTE mobile handsets, smartphones and 4G-enabled laptops to improve the mobility and efficiency of their workforces. The convenience afforded by these devices has quickly made any-time, anywhere multimedia communications an integral part of everyday life. And many business users increasingly rely on their mobile devices even when they are in the office — often accessing e-mail and other crucial information needed to conduct business.
