- Equipment Portability: Unlike wireless technology, wired technology is not portable.
- Space: Desktop computers and other wired technological devices take up more space than wireless alternatives.
- Safety: A wired-technology product's physical requirements create some damage opportunities that are not available in wireless items.
- Power: Power is required for wired equipment to function. If the only options are wired-technology goods, bad weather, electrical problems, or a utility-wire cut can cause work to be halted.
