Most importantly location will dictate what you need to do in order to negotiate security firewalls. This becomes important when you want to connect to your CAE desktop, or use CAE applications from home or a wireless location. Oftentimes which software you can use is determined by where you are. Certain things such as tethered software also require different approaches depending on where you are geographically located.
