Customers wanting to use NYMEX Wireless Handhelds must:

1. Choose a NYMEX certified Independent Software Vendor (ISV) from the list provided at http://www.nymex.com/cert_ISV.aspx.
ISVs must be pre-approved by NYMEX and access to the electronic trading system must be certified by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME).


2. Purchase a wireless tablet independently or through your Clearing Member. Although the Exchange recommends the Fujitsu 5030D and 1510 or the Toshiba M400, the choice of device is at the customer’s discretion. The device is required to run Microsoft XP and must accept a PCMCIA card bus adapter for network card insertion. Contact Third Party Services with advance notice of the model you will procure.
