Presentation Server and Mobile Working advice

[Lyndan]

We currently have Citrix Metaframe XPFR3 farm with web access using NFuse and Secure Gateway, to run MS Office apps. More and more users are wanting to access using various mobile devices, (PDAs, Laptops) and over Broadband, Mobile Cards etc.

I have followed Citrix docs on configuring for mobile working and that helped with some of the speed issues.

Would upgrading to Presentation server bring any benefits for my mobile workers over what we have now? Has anybody any experience of doing this? Was it OK?

Thanks.

I haven't upgraded to MPS 3.0 yet, but I have upgraded to WI 3.0 and noticed much improved compatibility with a wider range of PDAs.

Based on what I've read about the upcoming MPS 4.0, remote CSG users will realize a huge improvement by being able to reconnect to disconnected sessions. Internal LAN/WAN wireless users currently benefit from this w/ MPS 3.0. Also, MPS 4.0 will allow e-mail synch via CSG.

I will look at whether WI 3.0 would benefit us and find out more about MPS 4.0.
Thanks, Mitchero.
