WEA L2 DSB PPC2003 Discussion
DSB (Danish Railways) has plans to ramp up to 1300 users performing DMS
and DB2e syncs. In the future DSB intends to use ESS and other WEA components.
This teleconference is IBM internal only, and is in preparation for discussions
with DSB on PPC2003 (to be held 2/13/04). This is our (perhaps only) chance
to make recommendation to DSB as to what devices/characteristics they should
order, and any other associated considerations for their deployment.

Topics To Discuss
Topics To Discuss (but not limited
to):
Note: numbered blue bullets were questions tabled,
responses/discussions follow each question.
1) Initial PPC 2003 is only downloadable via PC/ActiveSync?
Schedule for DMS downloadable to be available 2/27 (may slip)
Availablility of devices has prevented meeting this date. There is no new
date yet.
Devices supported?
There was discussion/confusion regarding when/what IBM will say about support
for devices..
From Darren Childress: " The 2/27 will support the Ipaq 555x, Ipaq 221x,
Ipaq 193x, and hopefully the Dell Axim X3 and Toshiba e405."
"Some have WI/FI and Bluetooth, and all support ethernet".
Right now the 5550 is supported on FP4/FP5. We shoud steer DSB toward the
IPAC.
2) When will code be available (For DSB use)?
Our statement should be "Second week in March". Bo Pedersen stated this should
not be a problem for DSB and is to confirm.
DSB expressed interest in going from PPC2002 to PPC2003, what is the data
migration path. Is this IBM's responsibility?
Do we have a specification/requirement from DSB relative to this requirement
(Bo Pedersen to discusss with customer)
3) Date we could/should provide PPC2003 S/W to them
(GA, what functionality will be available when, etc.),
2/27 (see above items 1 & 2) This is an "interim" release. Contained
to NLS testing, beef up the Palm client, cleanup, and meet customer
expectations. Currently doing double byte testing.)
4) Any limitations/considerations of PPC2003,
Only qualifying "professional edition" Windows CE, not qualifying any phone
additions
5) How should DSB get and install SW on devices (they
have custom applications),
Should be same as PPC2002
6) DSB expressed interest in "eLinix" devices.
Sharp 2003 not on the list right now.
Bo Pedersen to get more clarification on DSB's desire for Linix devices.
7) PPC2002 fixes created for DSB will need to be applied
to PPC2003
Now have merged code base
8) What devices do we recommend?
PPC5550 (Preferred) or 2210
Additional Discussion
John Brantly stated there are "Lots of PMRs", and a centralized and prioritized
list of WEA Client PMRs being created and discussed. Scott Demsky is driving,
Lee Griffin will eventually be driving this.
