Mary Kay Puts a New Face on Wireless

Mary Kay is the world leader in direct-sales cosmetics, with revenue of more than $1.8 billion from wholesale transactions in 2004. Based in a stunning 13-story, 790,000 square foot corporate headquarters in north Dallas, Texas, the company manages its international operations with an increasing reliance on mobile communications. Workers throughout the company now use smart-phones and pocket PCs for wireless e-mail, calendaring, and web access. The company found that spotty cellular coverage inside the building was impeding productivity. They needed a system that delivered clear and reliable connections all the way from the top floor to the underground garage.
