Mobile Office System

Abstract

A mobile office system provides a portable, convenient, and efficient framework for setting up communication devices, establishing connectivity, and delivering interactive presentations. The mobile office system includes a portable component carrier. Inside the portable component carrier are component placement structures that define placement locations at which the specific components of the mobile office may be placed, stored, and secured. As one example, the component placement structures may define slots configured to securely hold tablet computers in place during movement of the portable component carrier.
