Remote Access
The ability of individual PC's or branch office LANs to establish data communications with their organization's backbone network, usually over dialup links. Remote access is most important for supporting mobile laptop users and enabling telecommuting. Organizations may lower their remote access administrative burden and telecommunication costs by contracting with an Internet Service Provider to receive dial-up calls at local POPs and route the calls over the network to the enterprise network. See Remote Access Server and Remote Access Concentrator. (See LAN, backbone, dialup, telecommuting, Internet Service Provider, and POP in the hard copy dictionary.)
