Default BNZ Internet Banking ad

In the ad, there is this couple, presumably contract landscape gardeners working at a client site. Smoko time and the woman tells the man it his turn to do the banking - you know the ad I mean.

What I want to know is...

If they are working at a client site, what is the man connecting his laptop to when he flips up the little antenna? It was suggested in our house that they were actually working next door so they could still reach their home network, but that seems too easy to me.

Or am I missing the point altogether and it is all easy and obvious? (wouldn't be the first time ).

They either have one of these or this which is just a mobile phone (but is just a card that plugs into laptop) that can connect to the internet via cell sites. This differs from a wireless network card.

Cool toy if you can afford the data plans.

How boring! I thought I'd caught them out in a major continuity/credibility flaw.
