Connectivity
What options are available for clinicians to send data from their Windows Mobile devices to the HomecareNet Mobile system
in the office?
There are five options available. The first is dial-up; the others involve use of a virtual private network along with one of four
options: in the office with a wireless router, via a PC with broadband connectivity, via a wireless modem, and over a WiFi connection.
Users can also directly connect via a laptop set up as a HomecareNet workstation.
