With the advent of readily available wireless communications and small hand-held computers, commonly known as personal digital assistants (PDAs), it is interesting to consider using these portable devices to access a control system. We have successfully ported EPICS to Windows CE 3.0 for the Pocket PC, and this paper describes the issues involved. The Pocket PC was chosen because the operating system is a subset of Windows on which EPICS already runs and because Pocket PC devices tend to have more memory than other PDAs. PDAs provide several ways to connect to a network, using wired or wireless Compact Flash or PCMCIA Ethernet cards and modems. It is the recent advent of readily available wireless networks that makes using the portable PDA interesting. The status and issues surrounding the various kinds of wireless systems available will also be presented.
