Wilderness Supply is a 38-person company that makes outdoor clothing such as parkas, jackets, backpacks, hats, gloves, bags, and other equipment. The management group, sales representatives, purchasing agent, and inventory and shipping specialists all use computers that must be connected to the Internet to communicate with distributors, suppliers, a payroll preparation company, and for many other purposes. Currently, all of the computers have V.92 dial-up modems and access to telephone lines for outside communications. Also, the computers are connected to one another through a LAN. The company is contracting with you to consult about ways in which to support modem access and to improve these communications.

Finding a Communications Alternative for a Backcountry Research Team Wilderness Supply has a contract with a two-person research team in Alaska that field tests new clothing and equipment. The research team has access to a telephone line, but the noise problems are so severe on the line into their backcountry residence that often they cannot use it to access the Internet. What is another alternative they can use to quickly exchange information via computers with the Wilderness Supply home office? Briefly describe the alternative you recommend along with the equipment that is necessary.
