Rogers, 2012). After that login step is followed which consist of various connected device like
cell phone, PDA and computers and many other things into a proper wireless environment so that
the business travelers can easily remain connected to various system present in the workplace or
office.

source, Sharing of personal photo and online sharing of videos. Proper communication is
