The SDKs target Windows CE and Windows Mobile, among other mobile operating systems.
Currently supported SDKs include SocketScan, for bar code and RFID scanning, and
Wi-Fi Companion, for wireless LAN application development.
The SocketScan SDK provides keyboard emulation support for all of the company's barcode scanners and RFID readers including the
Cordless Ring Scanner, the combination
RFID/barcode CF card (pictured above), and the
CHS 7E handheld Bluetooth scanner.
The Wi-Fi Companion SDK contains APIs to control and query WiFi profiles, network configuration parameters, and wireless performance statistics. It supports WEP, PSK, and WPA on most mainstream 802.11 radio hardware and drivers found in contemporary Pocket PCs, according to Socket. The SDK is intended for programmers familiar with 802.11 networking concepts and with the WiFi alliance WPA standard.
Socket says its developer program enhancements include on-line documentation, FAQs, and technical articles for each SDK, as well as priority support. Qualified developers receive 20 hours of consultation and access to a priority support website that directs queries to application engineers in Development Services rather than standard technical support. Developers interested in the advanced SDKs can review the purchasing qualifications and preview the content to determine suitabilty.
The Developer Program is available today with SDK pricing beginning at $1000, Socket said.
