First shown at CES 2010, Wi-Fi direct wireless Internet use has taken a part of the spectrum one step further.

Wi-Fi Alliance, the group which tests and certified Wi-Fi products to ensure that you are working today announced that it has begun certification of products in the location, Wi-Fi-based device to device connections and naming you Wi-Fi Certified Wi-Fi direct.

Traditionally need wireless clients connect to a central location, access point, called before combining mode in your "infrastructure".You also connect other than that can "Ad-hoc," which is limited in range and throughput speed in pairs through a mode called.

Allows direct Wi-Fi, on the other hand, Wi-Fi devices without access point at the same speed and range in infrastructure mode can connect a connection via Wi-Fi Protected Setup, a method much faster to an anderen.Sie, that connecting devices enables pressing a Taste.Mit can in other words, to connect Wi-Fi direct Wi-Fi products much as Bluetooth devices, but a much higher speeds and greater range.

Fill a major hole in daily use with this flexibility, Wi-Fi direct devices: directly print connecting devices for applications such as content sharing, synching, and show play without users having along to access anywhere.

Another advantage of the Wi-Fi certified Wi-Fi direct is devices that can connect fact using traditional Wi-Fi certified devices, since you as a mini access point to the traditional Wi-Fi products Wi-Fi Alliance.

The Wi-Fi Alliance say it the test suite for the certification program, using the following items also are the first, the Wi-Fi certified Wi-Fi direct are set:

Atheros XSPAN dual band 802.11n PCIe Mini Card (AR928x) Broadcom BCM43224 dual band 802.11n 2 x 2 MIMO PCIe half of mini CardIntel Centrino expanded N 6200 RALink MIMObility 802.11n 2 x 2 PCIe half of Mini Card Realtek RTL8192CE VA4 HM92C00 PCIe Mini card

The group uses Cisco 2106 wireless LAN Controller and Cisco Aironet Series access points 1240 certification test suite.
