Centralized management system for mobile communications with pocket PCs

Abstract

Pocket PCs are mobile computing devices largely used for mobile communications. Often Pocket PCs are long time used and modifications of the connection parameters to different networks are necessary. There is also need for installing different software packages. The mentioned operations can be manually done, by each user, this being a difficult and error prone solution or automatically, from a centralized location. This paper presents a centralized management system for mobile communications with Pocket PCs. It is useful for remotely setting connection parameters (dial-up phone numbers, SMSC numbers, DNS servers addresses etc.) and loading software packets to all or part of the Pocket PCs from a group leading to important saved times and the possibility to offer customized programs and graphical elements. © 2007 Springer.
