It shows available access points along with their SSID's, BSSIDs, signal strength, status, and Internet availability. It also provides a "Preferred Networks" list that allows users to specify preferred access points to connect to automatically.
pocketWinc is also claimed to be a very useful tool for diagnosing connection to the Internet. Tools such as the "trace" utility (illustrated here) show how a URL request, for example, gets from a Pocket PC to a given Web site.
Cirond says pocketWinc can specify WEP keys for a given access point. It can work with either manually-entered WEP keys or as part of the Cirond Winc Manager wireless network management and security system, which automatically, securely, and regularly "rotates" WEP keys, or can be used to strengthen WPA.
