Devicescape Agent WPS
Device Software for Hassle-Free Wireless Networking
Despite the enormous success of Wi-Fi, wireless devices have been plagued by difficult procedures for setting up wireless networks, leading to costly product returns, expensive support calls, and deeply dissatisfied customers.
Based on the Wi-Fi Alliance specification called Wi-Fi Protected Setup, the Devicescape Agent WPS module solves this problem by making set-up of a secure wireless network as simple as pushing a button or entering a PIN code. Device manufacturers can leverage the DSA WPS software to offer wireless service-enabled devices that are supremely simple to get on a home or small business network.
Device software developers considering the integration of DSA WPS into their design should review an overview of the Wi-Fi Protected Setup technology and the detailed technical specifications for DSA WPS.
According to research sponsored by Intel Corporation, up to 30% of consumer-orientated Wi-Fi products are returned to the point of purchase, and each device shipped logs two support calls. Devicescape Agent WPS slashes these support costs by providing consumers with easy to set up and automatic Wi-Fi connectivity.
