Provisional Support for Windows XP Embedded

NetMotion Wireless cannot guarantee that Mobility XE is compatible with each device running Windows XP Embedded. Device manufacturers can exclude operating system modules and modify the operating system image and configuration in ways that may be incompatible with Mobility XE. NetMotion Wireless will only support deployments where the Mobility XE client is installed on a device running the Windows XP Embedded operating system under the following conditions:

  • The customer must send in a device to NetMotion Wireless for certification testing. Testing will last two to three weeks and should be scheduled in consultation with your NetMotion sales engineer.
  • If your device is successfully certified, NetMotion Wireless will fully support your Mobility XE deployment. We will attempt to diagnose and resolve compatibility problems, but we cannot guarantee resolution. If we are unable to fully certify the device, NetMotion Wireless will not support your deployment with that device.

Obtaining Mobility Software

To obtain Mobility software, contact a Mobility partner or the NetMotion Wireless team.
