COMPARISONS OF DIFFERENT WIRELESS PROVIDERS
The purpose of this study is to explore the top wireless provider possibilities for our business. It will answer the following questions.
1. Will the devices available provide our employees with their business needs?
2. What are the different technologies available between providers and which are best for our employees?
3. Which plans are the best pricing to meet our budget?
This research is significant because of the decreasing amount of annual income and the increasing need to budget costs in the United States and within our company.
BACKGROUND
Our business is looking to take advantage of a wireless service to offer to our employees. The purchase of five new lines will give our district managers the ability to always stay connected and relay important messages. To facilitate growth in the company it is imperative that we maintain a competitive edge and stay up to date in our technological tools. This study will lay out the pros and cons of several wireless services for our business. Sprint, T-Mobile, and AT&T will be outlined and broken down until the most viable option is apparent for our company. The features that are vital for our company are up to date and versatile devices. The devices chosen have to be able to perform all tasks pertinent to the job description of our employees. Coverage and dependability will also be analyzed, because it is important that we have clear and consistent service through our wireless provider. A fast and reliable network will better aid us in our goals and lead to better productivity. Lastly, we will analyze price point so the most cost efficient plan, that still provides all the previously mentioned features, can be chosen. All of the determining factors will thoroughly be explained and the best available option for our company will be apparent.
DISCUSSION AND FINDINGS
The results of this research will indicate that the selection of the right wireless service provider will benefit the company and result in cutting expenses with low pricing and provide communication with our employees and customers. The research findings presented here falls into three categories: (a) phone devices, (b) technology, and (c) pricing.
Phone devices
Sprint, T-Mobile, and AT&T have all been competitive in trying to deliver the best wireless devices for their customers. For our employees we will need devices that will have all the basic functions to be able to contact customers and co-workers with voice capabilities and/or data usage such as: email, social networking, or messaging usage.
