| Standard Product FeaturesConnectivity.gif) | | | | Remote Desktop Protocol
Windows Embedded Standard provides the latest version of Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP 6.1) to help enable Windows Embedded Standard-based thin clients, point of service devices, and multifunction printers to connect using the latest version of Windows Server remote computing technologies. RDP helps you use the new Terminal Services (TS) features and updates introduced in Windows Vista such as Network Level Authentication, Server authentication, resource redirection, TS gateway servers, monitor spanning, and other visual improvements. Security & Management
Standard includes security and management technologies to help embedded devices to easily connect to take advantage of new features in Windows Server 2008 like Network Access Protections (NAP). NAP is a policy enforcement platform built into Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 to better protect network assets by enforcing compliance with system health requirements. Using NAP, device makers or enterprises can create custom policies to validate embedded device health before allowing access or communication with the enterprise network. Wi-Fi Protected Access 2
Windows Embedded Standard provides support for Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2), the latest wireless security solution derived from the IEEE 802.11i standards. WPA2 delivers support for the new Wi-Fi Alliance certification for wireless security, making it easier to connect to secure public spaces that are equipped with wireless Internet access—locations known as "Wi-Fi hotspots."
