    Communication Devices
    Video. Voice. Data. People and businesses rely on communication devices, from feature phones to barcode scanners, that double as push-to-talk Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) phones. Developing with Windows Embedded products provides networking and communications capabilities that enable devices to connect and communicate with other devices and people over both wireless and wired networks.

    Windows Embedded CE 6.0 networking drivers, protocols, and application programming interfaces (APIs) enable:
    • Rich network-aware applications and services using APIs and services such as Extensible Markup Language (XML), SOAP, Winsock, Message Queuing (MSMQ), and Media Sense
    • Networking drivers using Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS) 5.1 and NDIS test tools — for example 802.11, Bluetooth, GPRS, and Ethernet
    Windows Embedded CE 6.0 also includes:
    • Wireless features such as Bluetooth, 802.11 (802.1x, Extensible Authentication Protocol and 802.11 automatic configuration) and Media Sense
    • Server features such as Remote Access Service (RAS)/ Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) and File Transfer Protocol (FTP) Servers
    • Services and APIs such as the RTC Client API, Winsock 2.2, and Object Exchange Protocol (OBEX)
    • An updated TCP/IP stack and Network Driver Interface Specification 5.1. The network user interface has also been updated to enable certificate logon, discovery of devices over Bluetooth, and setup of 802.11 networks.
