The Value of Cisco Compatible Extensions (CCX) for Rugged Mobile Computers White Paper

From Psion Teklogix Inc.
 

 

Organizations of all types and sizes worldwide rely on data terminals and other rugged mobile computers, which run business-critical applications and must operate reliably. To operate reliably, most rugged mobile computers need a reliable wireless network connection provided by a wireless LAN or Wi-Fi® radio in the rugged mobile computer. If the radio doesn't work, the device doesn't work.

IEEE and industry standards define how a Wi-Fi radio interoperates with a wireless LAN infrastructure, and the Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™ seal ensures interoperability. For many organizations that rely on rugged mobile computers, however, Wi-Fi CERTIFIED is not enough. These organizations need assurance that their rugged mobile computers will interoperate with a Cisco wireless LAN infrastructure and support Cisco wireless LAN innovations for enhanced security, mobility, quality of service, and network management. The Cisco Compatible seal gives organizations the assurance that they seek.
