database as per requirement then can be retrieved data on his wireless device and maintain the
consistency company’s database. Cause of these every employee are updated up to date.

4. Credit Card Verification:

Credit card verification using this computing most secure. In respect of Sale terminals(POS) when
customer buy items in malls and other small shops when and pay bill in the form of swap credit card for
transactions then need to establish network in between POS terminal and bank central computer then
over protected cellular network verify the credential information of card fastly, if match it then proceed
further otherwise denied get boost up speed of transaction process and relieve the burden at the POS
network.

5. Replacement of Fixed Networks:

Wired network has been replaced in wireless network e.g. trade shows, remote sensors and historical
buildings. in wired networks, weather forecasting, earthquake detection and to get environmental data
are impossible. This is possible only in adapting the replacement of fixed networks in this computing.

6. Infotainment:

Wireless networks are capable to deliver the latest information at any suitable regions and can download
knowledge about concert at morning through wireless network that concert is conducting in any region
as well as Another growing field of wireless network applications lies in entertainment and games to
enable, e.g., ad-hoc gaming networks as soon as people meet to play together. So Infotainment by
wireless computing is more easy.

Mobile Computing Services

Software as a service is best platform with the help of rendering the many utilities and applications on
the internet world in the form of services.

Cloud Computing help to optimize your resources and scale up while control your cost.
