New guide makes global communications easy

New guide makes global communications easyKeywords: Telecommunications, Property industry

Telecommunications technology changes at an alarming rate. Broadband is one example that is becoming significantly more important within the property arena. The technology and e-business team at property consultants Weatherall Green& Smith has produced a comprehensive guide that explains – in straightforward terms – the broadband revolution and its impact on real estate.

The guide – Connecting to the Broadband Revolution –provides an overview of the different broadband technologies currently available, including information on capacities and general availability.

The new easy-to-use guide will enable even those with a rudimentary knowledge to gain valuable insight and understanding into telecommunications and what they should be looking for in the way of communications capabilities.

Occupiers can gain a useful "checklist" of required capabilities for existing or new locations for all business operations.

This new guide will benefit investors and developers in providing an awareness of the technologies demanded by occupiers and the issues that should be considered in incorporating these technologies within buildings.

The new guide is the next publication in Weatherall Green & Smith's e-commerce series that includes A Beginners' Guide to E-commerce and Business-to-Business E-commerce – A Property Investors Guide.

In addition to the guide, Weatherall Green & Smith can provide a comprehensive service to clients on all aspects of technology and telecommunications issues either on a single issue basis or as part of a package of services. The firm has a number of specialist and expert teams who work together to provide a seamless service to our clients, regardless of what business they are in.

Mark England, head of Weatherall Green & Smith's technology team, said of the guide: "Changes within the industry move quickly and we are able to keep track of them through consistently working with the technology and those who implement the advances. However, it isn't so easy for our clients and our guide is a step towards helping our clients – and those with an interest –bridge this gap."
