Hi [A],
zunächst einmal schöne Grüße von [B] und [C].
Wir sind im letzten Jahr in das "Mobile Geschäft" eingestiegen und seid letzter
Woche offizieller Symbol-Reseller. In unserem aktuellen Projekt werden ca. 80 PPT8846 zum Einsatz kommen. Dazu auch meine Frage:
Für das Projekt benötigen wir CE 4.2 auf den Geräten ( 4.2 kann WPA / TKIP als
Verschlüsselung ). Hast Du schon Erfahrung mit dem Zusammenspiel von PPT8846,
CE 4.2, C#, compact framework und OpenNETCF.
Speziell: läufen die Geräte mit CE 4.2 ähnlich stabil wie unter CE 4.1?
Vielen Dank
und schöne Grüße

Hi [A],
First of all, greetings from [B] & [C].
We've joined the handheld market and became official Symbol resellers last year. Our current project could use up to 80 PPT8846, which brings me to my question:
We're using CE 4.2 for the project (because 4.2 is able to use WPA/TKIP
encryption). Have you tried combining PPT8846, CE 4.2, C#, Compact
Framework, and OpenNETCF?
Could you tell us how the stability of equipment running CE 4.2 compares with CE 4.1?
Thanks and best regards,
[D] |

My translation experience began shortly after arriving in Germany in 1999 with technical articles about programming for two and half years for a quarterly magazine. Since then I've translated conference papers, software documentation, graphical user interfaces, and marketing materials.
I worked in the Pacific Northwest as a freelance computer consultant for 15 years. Then that "road less taken" appeared and a German fashion company was interested in my services. In particular, I helped develop an application generator using XML for meta data storage, and opened the runtime environment to event-driven scripting.
My work experience has included supporting water/wastewater utlities, accountants, freelance assessors, food manufacturers, equipment manufacturers, and golf & country clubs in a variety of areas, including: application development (AR, work orders, inventory, and asset management), networking systems (LANs & off-site dial-in), consulting on software & hardware solutions, 24/7 user training & support (telephone, on-site, and on-line), writing marketing & user documentation, and assisting in the preparation of financial reports & evaluations. | This user has earned KudoZ points by helping other translators with PRO-level terms.
