Mobile Sun Ray and WPA-PSK and 3G

A brief note: I've gotten WPA-PSK working well with our next generation Comet (mobile Sun Ray client) product. (Note: it has a different code name than Comet.) So finally you can have a very secure wireless connection with a mobile Sun Ray.

Also, we still have not yet released our VPN firmware, but that should be coming RSN. (Its has basically been complete for a while, but has been hamstrung by legal trying to get rights to release code that we developed using NDA information from a certain well-known vendor of VPN equipment.)

I've also demonstrated this working over HSDPA and GPRS/EDGE. It is quite nice with HSDPA. With GPRS/EDGE, its usable, but only just barely. I'm looking forward to testing it with Bluetooth -> 3G/3.5G networks soon.

3g goodness

I recently purchased a Cingular Wireless 3g card (the Option GT Max), and I've been playing with it under Linux for another project relating to thin clients.

One of the things that I've discovered is that this basically exposes itself as a normal USB serial port. I'm seriously considering adding support to OpenSolaris for this device. If you thing the ability to use 3g networks under Solaris sounds interesting to you, please let me know!
