Socket Mobile Releases Cisco Certified Enhanced Wi-Fi® Companion™ Software

Socket Mobile SoMo™ 650 Handheld Computer Among First Application Specific Devices (ASDs) to Receive Cisco Compatible Extensions (CCX) 4.0 Certification

ORLANDO, FL -- February 25, 2008 -- HIMSS -- Socket Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: SCKT), dba Socket Mobile, Inc., an innovative provider of mobile productivity solutions, today announced the immediate availability of Enhanced Wi-Fi Companion (e-WFC), a software platform that adds robust, enterprise-class wireless connectivity to the Socket Mobile SoMo 650 handheld computer for the business mobility market. With CCX certification, e-WFC greatly increases Wireless LAN (WLAN) security, mobility and overall network management. The e-WFC software works in conjunction with the Socket Mobile Wi-Fi chipset that is used in the Socket Mobile SoMo 650 handheld computer, and is available for purchase by Socket Mobile customers as an upgrade to their pre-existing Wi-Fi Companion software or as an orderable feature in their Socket Mobile handheld computer purchase.

CCX Value Proposition and e-WFC Key Competitive Advantages

With Cisco products in nearly two-thirds of enterprise wireless LAN, or Wi-Fi®, infrastructures today, most business organizations demand that the Wi-Fi radios in their mobile devices bear the Cisco Compatible seal, which is earned through the Cisco Compatible Extensions (CCX) program. The CCX specification defines the set of features needed for a Wi-Fi radio or a client device that uses Wi-Fi Radio, to be deemed 'compatible' with a Cisco wireless LAN infrastructure. Although Cisco has published five versions of its CCX specifications, today a product can be certified only for the two most recent versions: Version 4 (V4) or V5.

    access point to another

    support on an AP and AP-specified transmit power at client
