Free Wi-Fi in the station, it's good for the BYOD all! - ZDNet

Summary: last Friday, two ministers have launched services “digital stations” to facilitate the movement of travelers. GreenSI for this type of initiative could boost the development of BYOD in business. How

Last Friday, two ministers (Innovation & Digital Economy, Transport) launched services “ digital stations ” with WiFi and services to facilitate the movement of travelers.

This seems a little late to help tourists who flock out of the capital and elsewhere in France this weekend, but it sounds spot for their next professional year in September. For the station, it is also the main venue for professional transit to and from the office, well before the holidays.

The plan includes 100 stations by the end of 2013 (about 3000 stations in France, including 230 TGV). End of 2012 SNCF is to maneuver, had also signed an agreement with Gowex, a leading company in the development of WiFi in cities, to equip the Gare de Marseille Saint-Charles. One imagines that the returns were positive and that the government was particularly compelling for generalization. And digital cities also need this type of infrastructure to connect their citizens.

Anyway, plan “digital stations” allows us to imagine a greater proportion of employees equipped with WiFi, no 3G. A much more affordable than the 3G or 4G for without subscription. So certainly increase the share of employees arriving with their own equipment in the wireless technology enterprises … off the train altogether.

vision GreenSI is that 7 “tablets will bloom at stations. certainly much more with Android than iOS.

iPadMini Nexus or Kindle Fire as the photo, or one of many tablets that are being launched in 2013. well suited for reading , one of the business traveler who takes public transport format. Better than the smartphone 5 “anyway. Above 7″ is a segment of the tablet market very competitive where low-cost offerings enable you to buy efficient products between € 130 and € 250. At least two less than a smartphone or a tablet latest 10 “.

Once loaded with WiFi, an article or a book to read without connection because these tablets store between 16GB and 32GB as standard.

to the railway has seen the race internet access during travel , in airplanes and cars soon. A consultation is launched for the connection in the TGV. The TER and Transilien also have a potential regular customers who are perhaps willing to pay for WiFi access during their journey. So when the subscription option with WiFi and more

other hand France also has a delay to catch up for the use of e-books (0.5%). A delay that is due more to a “lack of enthusiasm” major players in the sector, a less rich and more expensive than in other countries offer: 7% in Britain and 20% in the United States. And when it was explained that the French refuse to read digital and prefers paper, why do not we invest in communication explaining the benefits of digital (less paper, ink, distribute diesel ….) . After all we learn both youth smoking with marketing and communication. This is to say that there is definitely a development potential of the lights, and that 7 “tablets will certainly contribute and replace the first reading lights.

The development of wireless in the station, and tomorrow the trains could therefore boost the French equipment with devices without 3G can also use it at home with their box.

GreenSI question is: what will the employee who enters the company with its WiFi tablet

?

A priori it might ask for also connect to the corporate network.

This is perhaps the time to rest on the table rules and WiFi connection options to the corporate network. On the technical side, but also in terms of management. As such these facilities will ride to work without political blocking sites now applies. But it is also an opportunity to expand access to the intranet or internal dialogues tools for those who have no job provided by the company.

get ready to finish this …
