NEWS Mobile workers will soon be able to plug into the corporate network from rather unusual locations - burger vans. Wireless technology specialist Avaya is trialling a service which enables staff on the move to stay in touch with the office via web-enabled burger stands. The service is made possible by positioning wireless access points on the procession of snack trucks which line the popular A3 commuter route between London and Portsmouth. Burger vans along the busy stretch of road will be able to provide customers with a snack and a networking card that will give them access to secure broadband internet and email from the comfort of their own car, providing they have a suitable laptop. Plans are already in place to extend the trial nationally.
