Socket Mobile’s Go Wi-Fi! P500 CompactFlash (CF) Card and P700 embedded radio module have been certified for Version 4 of Cisco ( News - Alert) Compatible Extensions (CCX) for Application Specific Devices.
Cisco products are currently deployed in nearly two-thirds of enterprise wireless LAN, or Wi-Fi , infrastructures. Thus, most business organizations demand that the Wi-Fi radios in their mobile devices bear the Cisco Compatible seal, which is earned through the CCX program.
Socket Communications ( News - Alert) notes that the certification enables OEM handheld device manufacturers to leverage a variety of Cisco Wi-Fi innovations such as robust security, improved quality of service, centralized administration and enhanced voice capabilities. This is achieved by embedding Socket Mobile Wireless LAN (WLAN ) cards and modules in their designs and using the Socket Mobile Enhanced Wi-Fi Companion Software (e-WFC).
Les Lee, vice president of OEM sales at Socket Mobile said in a statement that enhanced Wi-Fi Companion software with Cisco Compatible Extensions continues the long heritage of Socket Mobile providing the business mobility industry with open systems software. This enables third party OEM customers to embed their WLAN modules in their products and reap the benefits of CCX 4.0 certification.
Lee indicated that OEM customers across the world can quickly and easily obtain the latest in Wi-Fi hardware and software certifications, take advantage of broad industry accepted standards, and improve the positioning of their products for adoption into complex corporate infrastructures.
