Wireless handheld devices

Mobile technology refers to portable electronic devices and the systems that support them—smartphones, tablets, laptops, and the wireless networks enabling their connectivity.

The term encompasses both hardware and the infrastructure allowing communication and computing on the move: Mobile technology has transformed how we work and socialize.

In business contexts, it often signals strategies for reaching users through portable devices: a mobile technology platform, mobile-first design.
