Devicescape's Easy WiFi Selected by iRiver

By Raju Shanbhag, TMCnet Contributor

WiFi (News - Alert) e-readers always need instant connectivity to make their mark on the users. Realizing this, iRiver, Ltd., a provider of products for the digital world, has licensed Devicescape's Easy WiFi for use in its new WiFi e-readers.




The WiFi solutions provided by Devicescape make mobile devices easy to set up, easy to use, and effortlessly connect to any WiFi network. The solution provides benefits such as state-of-the art security, easy setup and use, worldwide hotspot compatibility, and even an access platform.

In-stat recently published a report that stated e-readers are expected to hit $9 billion in 2013. But while these new devices are meeting demand for greater functionality and innovation, they are also often difficult to connect to WiFi for the average user. Looking to ensure its new e-readers will deliver a seamless WiFi experience to its customers, iRiver selected Devicescape’s Easy WiFi.

“Today’s electronics provide amazing functionality by working with web-based content and applications, and WiFi is an increasingly important way for these devices to connect,” said Dave Fraser, CEO of Devicescape. “Easy WiFi allows for an effortless connection to hotspots all over the world, making WiFi as simple to use as a cellular and ensuring that device manufacturers can see their vision truly realized.”

iRiver devices will seek and connect to WiFi automatically, with little or no user effort with Easy WiFi. iRiver now gets a single solution which provides compatibility with hotspots all over the world in a small, future-proof device footprint. It provides benefits such as reduced complexity and the capability to customize and choose their WiFi providers from the thousands supported by Easy WiFi, the company states.

In October 2008, Green Hills Software entered into a partnership with Devicescape, a provider of advanced Wi-Fi software solutions. Green Hills customers are now able to have a completely embedded WiFi solution that delivers certification and compliance with WiFi industry standards. Green Hills’ customers would be able to quickly and efficiently develop WiFi products that are secure, seamless and reliable.
