Ubiquitous is a Latin word meaning "omnipresent, being everywhere at the same time". A ubiquitous device is an electronic device capable of using wireless, Internet, and other networking capabilities that are so pervasively embedded in the environment that the devices can be used virtually anywhere and anytime. The concept encompasses a broad range of capabilities including communications (cell phones), ubiquitous computing (notebook computers), delivery of images (displays), and products for identifying or managing people and things (wireless IC tags).
