2b. When user is wireless, FE is stored in user's Terminal Sever profile, or on any wired resource accessible from TS. User logs into TS, and runs FE from there;
2c. When user works from remote location, he/she needs VPN connection to wired network, and access to TS. User connects to wired network, logs into TS, and runs FE from there.
All data exchange between FE and BE is done over wired network. In case FE is run from TS, over wireless connection only images and keystrokes are moved. So risk of DB corruption is same as when working in wired network.
