Key benefits of Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 6 technology include: Higher data rates. Increased capacity.

Who owns WiFi trademark?

The Wi-Fi Alliance
The Wi-Fi Alliance owns the “Wi-Fi” trademark and it tests various aspects of 802.11 specifications on products provided by the vendors, for interoperability. If the products pass these tests, Wi-Fi Alliance certifies it as Wi-Fi Certified TM for the specific 802.11 technology.

What is the latest WiFi version?

Wifi 6 is the newest standard in WiFi. The newest version of WiFi standards is 802.11ax (WiFi-6) and is an upgrade over the previous standard, which is 802.11ac (WiFi-5). This upgraded standard, Wifi 6, is mainly for compatible devices (like routers) to transmit wifi signals more efficiently.

How much does Wi-Fi certification cost?

Test and certify products	Contributor / Affiliate / Small Business Introductory Participant
Certify a derivative product (based on your own company’s Wi-Fi CERTIFIED product)	$600 certification fee per derivative product; after 16 certified products from the same source, $100 per product

How do I get a Wi-Fi certificate?

Go to “Settings” > “Wi-Fi” > “menu:Advanced” > “Install certificates” to install the WiFi access certificate.

How is Wi-Fi transmitted?

Wi-Fi uses radio waves to transmit information between your device and a router via frequencies. Two radio-wave frequencies can be used, depending on the amount of data being sent: 2.4 gigahertz and 5 gigahertz. The two Wi-Fi frequencies are split into multiple channels so as to prevent high traffic and interference.

Was Wi-Fi invented in Australia?

Wi-Fi technology today is found all over the world, and the means for making it fast and reliable was an Australian invention. Twenty years ago (on January 23, 1996) CSIRO’s patent for a method of creating a fast and reliable Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) was approved in the US.

Is 5G WiFi 5?

5G and 5 GHz Wi-Fi are both used for wireless connectivity, but they don’t have anything else in common. Anyone referring to “5G Wi-Fi” actually means 5 GHz Wi-Fi, which is different from the 5G cellular standard.

How fast is 5G WiFi?

1300 Mbps
The main difference is speed. Under ideal conditions, 2.4 GHz WiFi will support up to 450 Mbps or 600 Mbps, while 5 GHz Wi-Fi will support up to 1300 Mbps.

Certification

Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™ is an internationally recognized seal of approval for products indicating that they have met industry-agreed standards for interoperability, security, and a range of application specific protocols.

Certification means that a product has been tested in a variety of ways to validate interoperability with other Wi-Fi CERTIFIED equipment operating in the same frequency band.

Wi-Fi CERTIFIED products have undergone rigorous testing by one of three certification paths:

FlexTrack: Tailored to sophisticated product design built from the ground up. FlexTrack allows the most flexible Wi-Fi functionality customization built into components. Testing is completed at an Authorized Test Laboratory (ATL).

QuickTrack: Tailored to products based on components that have already completed full Wi-Fi functionality testing in a Qualified Solution. QuickTrack allows targeted changes to Wi-Fi functionality. Testing can be completed at an ATL or member testing site. Programs for which QuickTrack is available include: Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 6 ® and Wi-Fi 6E operation, Wi-Fi CERTIFIED ac, Wi-Fi CERTIFIED n, Wi-Fi Agile Multiband​ ™ , Wi-Fi Data Elements™, Protected Management Frames, WPA2 ™ , WPA3 ™ , Wi-Fi Enhanced Open ™ , Wi-Fi Protected Setup™, and Wi-Fi Direct ® .

Derivative: For copies of a Wi-Fi CERTIFIED device Source Product, such as the same chipset used for multiple laptop models. Members may apply for certification of derivative products without the testing requirement.

Certification is available for a wide range of consumer, enterprise, and operator-specific products, including smartphones, appliances, computers and peripherals, networking infrastructure, and consumer electronics. The Wi-Fi CERTIFIED logo gives consumers confidence that a product will deliver a good user experience. Service providers and enterprise IT managers specify Wi-Fi CERTIFIED to reduce support costs and ensure a product has met industry-agreed requirements.

A company must be a member of Wi-Fi Alliance ® and achieve certification to use the Wi-Fi CERTIFIED logo and Wi-Fi CERTIFIED certification marks.

What is WiFi Alliance and the Wi-Fi Certified？

which is permitted only on equipment which has passed testing. If you have passed the Wi-Fi Alliance (WFA) certification, you can put the Wi-Fi logo on your product to indicate that your wireless product meets certification items such as Wi-Fi compatibility.

Difference between IEEE and Wi-Fi Alliance

The IEEE and FCC are responsible for the Layer 3 protocol support and frequency and powerlevel regulations in the United States. ETSI and TELEC are responsible for frequency and powerlevel regulations in Europe and Japan The WiFi Alliance is responsible to interoperability testing.

What does the Wi-Fi Alliance certification test？

• Interoperability:
  Verify the interconnection and interoperability between the test equipment
  and the standard equipment of different chip manufacturers on the test platform.
• Throughput:
  The test case defines the user scenarios and throughput limit requirements of different working modes such as single user,
  multi-user, Wi-Fi802.11a/b/g/n, and tests the throughput performance of the device under test.
• Protocol consistency:
  Encryption mode (WPA2-AES, WPA-TKIP, WEP);
  802.11n equipment protection measures for 802.11b and g equipment,
  802.11g equipment protection measures for 802.11b equipment;
  802.11n protocol.
