    Nov 6 2020

    This year we have seen a huge change in the way we work and the need to work from anywhere- not just in the office, or at home. With many of us experiencing WiFi down times at home, the need for an always on connection, is more important than ever to work efficiently.

    Janice Ting and Max Wu join us on this episode to discuss these very real issues, and talk a bit more on those alternative options we all have available but possibly didn’t know too much about.
