Could you please explain in details what do you mean?
Do you need POS working on Pocket PC to exchange data via WiFi with
ARPOS?

For that you need to buy a special router. Here in the UK they are supplied by a great company called Solwise, but no doubt you can find similar kit locally.

Here is a link to the kit they sell - which prints out a full bill, and a passcode for the visitor, which would allow them access to your WiFi network.

http://www.solwise.co.uk/wireless-hotspot.htm

A simple, single point, hotspot doesn't require a RADIUS server - that is useful only where customers get credits and move from shop to shop, or location to location.

To become part of a community of WiFi providers you can get kit from a specialist WiFi service provider, (such as The Cloud in the UK) but they don't fully recompense you for useage - with the kit above you can charge whatever you like - with a service you get the kit pre-configured to access a RADIUS server, but you only get a very small percentage of the customers fee.

If you have a chain of shops, you might want to consider RADIUS to create your own community, and in that case, these devices are fully compatible, but you would need to provide a central RADIUS server - fully configured - yourself. The various shop's routers will use the Internet as a transport mechanism to talk to the server, which can obviously be located in head office, or one of the shops.

I hope this has helped you - if you want to integrate it into your ARPOS service, then you only need to make a sale of a ticket - as a separate item - then simply press the relevant button on the little printer provided with the router.
