Licensing an as yet unannounced technology from the Wi-Fi Alliance dubbed by the Alliance Easy Config, Devicescape will introduce its version called Easy Access.

Easy Access, like Simple Config, will authenticate and secure devices onto the network with minimal user intervention.

The technology is aimed at addressing the connectivity challenges around the small but growing number of Wi-Fi enabled hardware devices.

Devices now include office projectors, printers, and VoIP phones. There are also numerous Wi-Fi enabled consumer electronics products such as video and still cameras, televisions, and MP3 players.

Rather than presenting a user with arcane menu choices such as how many bits the encryption scheme uses, Easy Access-enabled devices, which will include both access points and client devices, will use a standardized discovery and registration protocol. After a device is accepted, the device and the AP will use a shared security key.
