global scope that are linked by copper
wires, fiber-optic cables, wireless
connections, and other technologies.

component and focal point of internal
communication and collaboration.

Internet technology to find
communication methods that encourage
greater collaboration and are an
efficient way of dispersing helpful and

stay connected longer, and are able to
collaborate with their co-workers as and where

networks can be created and ripped down in an
afternoon instead of the days or weeks required
to create a structured cable network.
