The need to stay connected is more important than ever, especially as organizations adopt hybrid work. Unfortunately, patchy Wi-Fi connections and outdated tech can make it challenging to interact with others, impacting your productivity and workflows.

So, imagine combining the power of a PC with the connectivity of a smartphone. Your employees could work seamlessly from virtually anywhere in the U.S. and save time trying to get online.

Dell Technologies is making all this possible thanks to a new partnership with Verizon Business. When you purchase a Dell Connected PC (PC configured with mobile broadband which connects to cellular networks), you can be referred directly to a dedicated Verizon team to help you select the right data plan and facilitate service activation, and be connected to Verizon's cellular      network from virtually anywhere in the US, meaning your workers no longer have to rely on unsecured public hotspots. Plus, by activating your Dell Connected PC and enrolling in an eligible Verizon Business data plan, you can benefit from a $100 bill incentive credit, applied as a $10 monthly credit over 10 months.

Stay Connected Anywhere with Dell Connected PCs

Connected PCs from Dell Technologies helps workers to stay productive even when away from trusted Wi-Fi networks, removing the friction and time spent trying to get online. According to a study from CCS Insight, 27% of employees cite "poor connectivity" as their biggest frustration with work technology (CCS Insights Research et.al, 2023).

Because Dell Connected PCs afford cellular connectivity, users don't need to search for Wi-Fi networks, enter passwords, or deal with tethering issues. Instead, they can focus on their work.      

Improve Security and Reliability

A study by Forbes found that 40% of people have had their information compromised when using public Wi-Fi which can be a concern when employees want to connect to networks on the go.

Connected PCs connect to cellular networks, which offer automatic end-to-end encryption making them safer than unsecured Wi-Fi hotspots. That means you can protect sensitive information and ensure your business operations run smoothly.

How Do Connected PCs Work?

Connected PCs are laptops that connect to 4G LTE and/or 5G mobile broadband, making them similar to your smartphone. Your employees can access the internet whenever a trusted Wi-Fi network is unavailable, allowing for secure "anywhere work."

Here's how to get started with a Connected PC from Dell:

1. Purchase a Dell Connected PC: Choose a Dell laptop with mobile broadband, such as the Latitude 5450 and opt-in to be referred to Verizon.
2. Meet with Verizon: After your device is built, a Verizon representative will reach out.
3. Select and Activate: Work with Verizon Business to choose and activate the best data plan for your needs. The company offers dedicated support to help you connect to their network.

After activating your Dell Connected PC, you can get a $100 bill credit if you enroll in an eligible Verizon laptop data plan,. Verizon will apply the      incentive to your bill as a $10 monthly credit over ten months. Additional terms may apply. Your Verizon representative will be able to help.

Why Verizon Business?

Verizon’s 5G Ultra-Wideband service is available to more than 250 million people nationwide, while its 4G LTE network covers 99% of the population.

According to Vijay Paulrajan, VP of Device and Device Services, Verizon Business, says “Hybrid work is here to stay, and as employees take advantage of remote work or travel for work, they often face a common dilemma: how to connect their laptop to the Internet. With Connected PCs, they can seamlessly connect their laptops to Verizon’s reliable 4G-LTE or 5G network, helping employees accomplish their work on-the-go. This collaboration with Dell is a perfect example of how Verizon Business is making it easy for customers to take advantage of an offer from our two brands and receive all the benefits of a connected laptop.”
