Devicescape Easy Wi-Fi: Reliable and Secure Access

Devicescape Easy Wi-Fi is a comprehensive product that can be integrated into a wide variety of service-enabled device designs to provide secure, reliable and easy-to-use Wi-Fi network access. Devicescape Easy Wi-Fi is suitable for OEM and ODM embedded devices, PC OEM applications, and semiconductor reference designs. Devicescape Easy Wi-Fi provides:

Robust security: The Devicescape Managed Supplicant offers complete support for WEP, WPA/WPA2 Personal and Enterprise, and a broad set of EAP modes for comprehensive support of secure Wi-Fi networks in the home and business. In addition, compatibility with the large base of Cisco enterprise WLAN installations is assured with optional support for the Cisco Compatible Extensions version 4 and 5 (CCXv 4 and 5).

Easy device setup: Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) from Devicescape makes the configuration of secure personal wireless networks as simple as pushing a button or entering a PIN code. Device manufacturers can now offer wireless devices that are supremely simple to get on a home or small business network.

Simple connectivity: Devicescape's Connection Manager Framework handles setup, management and termination of Wi-Fi connections. It automatically manages the priority of networks to be selected and manages the security settings for those networks.

Seamless mobility: Devicescape's Hotspot Login allows users to seamlessly connect to hotspots without having to constantly re-enter information. Once users have entered their username and password the first time, they will then be able to connect automatically and hassle-free in subsequent sessions.

"Virtually all of the leading mobile devices today include Wi-Fi connectivity but that does little good regardless of whether they are laptops or hand held products if they can't connect to a service easily," said Rob Enderle, Analyst for the Enderle Group. "What Devicescape does is close that final gap and allow these Wi-Fi enabled devices to connect easily to most of the massive number of hot spots located around the world and held device manufacturers and service providers sell products that approach the promise of being always connected.
