Our 3G service allows small businesses to send and receive e-mail, including large attachments; access the Internet, including corporate intranets or VPNs; and perform business applications almost anywhere they can make a wireless phone call.”
Purchasing AT&T embedded devices through Dell offers small businesses several benefits including:
- Customization and configuration of devices to meet unique computing needs
- Dedicated small business sales force to help determine which devices will best serve a particular business
- Ability to purchase as many units as needed
- 24/7 hardware tech support
“Today’s announcement highlights Dell’s commitment to providing small and medium businesses customers in the United States with a winning combination of portability and connectivity at an attractive price point,” said Sam Burd, global vice president, Dell Small and Medium Business.
