DriverCore
for mobile devices
was designed to support the specific needs of manufacturers of handsets,
phones, modems, wireless cards and other mobile and wireless communication devices. Mobility is essential.
Laptops, PDAs and other handheld computers provide their users with the ability to stay mobile and connected.
A wide set of communication peripherals are designed to support that purpose, including Mobile phones that act as modems
for the PCs and enable web access through common dial-up utilities and 3G wireless cards that enable communication in
different locations, are two examples.
The need to connect laptops and PDAs to communication handsets and cards is answered by the USB communication standard,
which has become the de-facto solution for such cases, enabling high-speed data transfer rates,
while being compatible with every common desktop operating system.
DriverCore provides manufacturers of communication devices the ability to expose USB peripheral to a host operating systems in
various forms, including serial interface (Virtual COM port), Ethernet, Infrared and Bluetooth (via the Object Exchange Protocol),
and more, thus enabling to continue and use the original applications to control and communicate with the
recently re-designed USB peripherals.
Manufacturer Benefits
DriverCore enables mobile communication devices manufacturers to support various communication standards while
maintaining a single, simple, USB based hardware design.
DriverCore allows continued support for applications that still use legacy
interfaces (e.g. Serial, Ethernet, Bluetooth), with new USB phones, modems and wireless cards.
The DriverCore integration into the system is transparent to the end-users, and does not require
significant systems update, special training or any other adaptations.
End-User Benefits
The end users will benefit from a growing amount of mobility features offered by
mobile communication devices to their PDA or laptop.
End users will continue to operate the system using familiar applications. No learning of new interfaces or procedures is required.
USB is well known and considered industry standard, it is commonly used, intuitive and supported in almost every
platform the end user may have.
