Cellular Radio (CellCore) Catalog Items and Sysgen Variables (Compact 2013)
3/26/2014
In Windows Embedded Compact, you can implement CellCore functionality to support cellular radio features such as using a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card, sending and receiving Short Message Service (SMS) messages, and wireless Internet. CellCore includes support for the 3G (third generation) mobile communications standard, which offers simultaneous voice and data communications as well as faster data transfer rates.
For more information, see Cellular Radio (CellCore).
For more information about how to add or remove catalog items, see Create Your First OS.
Hardware and Software Requirements
- Requires a cellular radio on the hardware board. The hardware board manufacturer should be able to provide programming information and sample device driver source code for the cellular radio device.
Catalog Items and Sysgen Variables
The following table describes the catalog items and associated SYSGEN variables you can use to add CellCore functionality to your OS.
