Socket Mobile Releases Cisco Certified Enhanced Wi-Fi(R) Companion(TM)
Software

Socket Mobile SoMo(TM) 650 Handheld Computer Among First Application
Specific Devices
(ASDs) to Receive Cisco Compatible Extensions (CCX) 4.0 Certification

ORLANDO, FL -- February 25, 2008 -- HIMSS -- Socket Communications, Inc.
(NASDAQ: SCKT), dba Socket Mobile, Inc., an innovative provider of mobile
productivity solutions, today announced the immediate availability of
Enhanced Wi-Fi Companion (e-WFC), a software platform that adds robust,
enterprise-class wireless connectivity to the Socket Mobile SoMo 650 handheld
computer for the business mobility market. With CCX certification, e-WFC greatly
increases Wireless LAN (WLAN) security, mobility and overall network management.
The e-WFC software works in conjunction with the Socket Mobile Wi-Fi chipset
that is used in the Socket Mobile SoMo 650 handheld computer, and is available
for
purchase by Socket Mobile customers as an upgrade to their pre-existing
Wi-Fi Companion software or as an orderable feature in their Socket Mobile
handheld
computer purchase.

CCX Value Proposition and e-WFC Key Competitive Advantages

With Cisco products in nearly two-thirds of enterprise wireless LAN, or
Wi-Fi(R), infrastructures today, most business organizations demand that the
Wi-Fi radios in their mobile devices bear the Cisco Compatible seal, which is
earned through the Cisco Compatible Extensions (CCX) program. The CCX
specification defines the set of features needed for a Wi-Fi radio or a
client device that uses Wi-Fi Radio, to be deemed 'compatible' with a
Ciscowireless LAN infrastructure. Although Cisco has published five versions of
its CCX specifications, today a product can be certified only for the two
most recent versions: Version 4 (V4) or V5.

e-WFC Software Key Features

-- Complete solution from Socket Mobile without any third party
supplicant. User will have assurance that solution will work right out of
the box and Socket Mobile provides both integration professional services
and post sales support
-- Advanced security and reliability for WLAN traffic of business
organizations
-- Designed to use minimum power, and Automatic Power Save enables you to
further reduce the power usage and to maximize the battery life of your
device
-- Wi-Fi Alliance Certified and CCX 4.0 certified
-- Support for WPA/WPA2 (Enterprise) and EAP methods (LEAP, EAP-FAST, and
EAP-TLS) in a single program
-- Incorporates award-winning wireless configuration program, known as Wi-
Fi Companion
-- Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM), a standard for quality of service (QoS) and
Cisco roaming enhancements using Cisco Centralized Key Management (CCKM)
protocol
-- VOIP over Wi-Fi: CCX features incorporate voice-specific enhancements,
such as seamless routing of traffic among access points, especially as
users 'roam' or move through a network and their calls transition from one
access point to another
-- Enhanced client and network management through multiple SSIDs and VLAN
support on an AP and AP-specified transmit power at client

Socket Mobile will be formally launching this new product at the
HealthcareInformation and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) annual conference
and
exhibition February 24-28 in Orlando with Cisco, and providing demonstrations at
both the Socket Mobile booth #1312 and the Cisco booth #6251. Reference to
Socket Mobile CCX compatibility can currently be found on the Cisco Web Site at
http://www.cisco.com/web/partners/pr46/pr147/socket_p700.html.

"Theft of data and confidential information is a concern among organizations
that have an increasing number of remote or mobile workers using handheld
devices," said Bob Zink, senior vice president of worldwide sales and marketing
at
Socket Mobile. "By integrating Cisco CCX into our platform we are able to
directly address the challenges our customers face in terms of security,
interoperability and scalability regardless of their size or industry. Our SoMo
650 handheld computer is a durable PDA product, and our Wi-Fi software and
integrated WLAN offering along with our extended SocketCare(TM) service and
technical support provide features we feel are unique in the industry for
this class of device."
