Product Name
Devicescape Easy Wi-Fi
Product Type
802.11 Wireless Networking Security and Connection Management
Product Summary
Devicescape Easy Wi-Fi is a comprehensive security and connectivity
package that enables OEMs to quickly and easily implement Wi-Fi in their
products, and enable these products to connect to all types of Wi-Fi:
Enterprise, home and public hotspots. Easy Wi-Fi includes an enterprise
grade Supplicant, optional Cisco Compatible Extensions (CCX), Wi-Fi Protected
Setup (WPS), a Connection Manager Framework and a Hotspot Login client.
Product Description
- Comprehensive Security
Devicescape Easy Wi-Fi supports the entire suite of Wi-Fi security
mechanisms that are currently used, including WEP, dynamic WEP with
802.1X, WPA/WPA2 Pre-Shared Key, and WPA/WPA2 Enterprise. A full
range of 802.1X Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) methods
are provided to enable deployment in any type of enterprise security
environment. The Easy Wi-Fi Connection Manager can store multiple
network definitions (or preference lists) in order to quickly reconfigure
itself for various wireless networks. The software also supports
802.11i RSN roaming via pre-authentication. For EAP methods utilizing
certificates (e.g., EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, PEAP and optionally EAP-FAST),
Easy Wi-Fi supports an interface to external SSL/TLS libraries for
certificate processing. The open source OpenSSL library is included
in the product, and Easy Wi-Fi has also been deployed with small
footprint commercial SSL/TLS libraries from Certicom and PeerSec
Networks. Devicescape Easy Wi-Fi has been tested to interoperate
with the popular RADIUS authentication servers from Cisco Systems,
Funk, Meetinghouse and Microsoft.
- Wi-Fi Protected Setup
Easy Wi-Fi's implementation of the Wi-Fi Alliance’s Wi-Fi Protected
Setup (WPS) specification makes it easy for consumers to configure
and use a home wireless network. The Easy Wi-Fi WPS solution has been
tested using a super-set of the Wi-Fi alliance test plan, and verified
for interoperability against a large number of commercial access points.
This ensures seamless compatibility and avoids some of the pit falls
with early WPS implementations. Easy Wi-Fi supports automated configuration
of wireless security and network settings via both the PIN code method
and the convenient Pushbutton method. A device can act as an Enrollee,
or as a Registrar for setting up an unconfigured access point.
- Cisco Compatible Extensions
In order to ensure interoperability with the large installed base of
networking infrastructure equipment from Cisco Systems, Easy Wi-Fi
supports Cisco Compatible Extensions as an option. The CCX option
provides for support up to version 5 of the CCX specifications (in
conjunction with selected operating system platforms and Wi-Fi chipset
drivers), and includes features such as enhanced EAP-FAST, CCKM,
CKIP, and Cisco roaming and voice features. Wireless devices using
Easy Wi-Fi with CCX can take advantage of Cisco’s innovations
for enhanced security, mobility, quality of service, and network
management as an option for Cisco CCX Program Licensees.
- Hotspot Login
Wi-Fi has been deployed in 100,000s of public locations in the form
of Wi-Fi hotspots. These hotspots typically require a user authenticate
using a username and password entered into a HTML based captive portal.
This authentication method was primarily designed for PCs and as
such, has limited the usefulness of Wi-Fi hotspots for devices. Easy
Wi-Fi includes a Hotspot Login feature that allows devices to automatically
login in to free and commercial hotspot networks. This solution works
in conjunction with a hosted update service to provide support for
over 1000 commercial and free networks, including all major operators,
many airports, universities and public places. Because Easy Wi-Fi
hotspot login talks to Devicescape’s update service, the available
hotspots that can be accessed is always being expanded and is available
to devices without a firmware upgrade being required.
Processors Supported
Easy Wi-Fi is provided as a source code product, and us such is compatible
with most major processors.
