secure ways to connect with employees. In the process of digital innovation R&D
and digital transformation, it is also required to provide employees with
enterprise-level security on their PCs while allowing them to access data
outside the walls. Moreover, the future of mobility will also drive increased
demand for light and thin always on and always connected PCs with true mobility,
features found on PCs powered by Snapdragon compute platforms.

private networks allow control over access to the Internet or a company’s
intranet, bandwidth adjustment and services based on telecom number, time and
location.
Microsoft Windows 10 PCs powered by Snapdragon compute platforms offer
leading experiences designed in response to telework and tele-education in the
