Universal access to the Web and real-time synchronization with the enterprise have led to the widespread adoption of wireless technologies. The ability to operate in either a connected or a disconnected environment has become critical to the success of mobile GIS field activities. This is a major advantage for mobile workers as they can access large amounts of data directly from the Web or from their back end enterprise systems. Mobile enterprise GIS deployments can leverage this wireless technology to access large quantities of GIS data in a field environment and cache it locally so users can perform their business functions without needing to return to the office.
