Mobile phone carriers now have an important new source of data about the handsets they consider for use on their networks: a testing program for Wi-Fi / mobile phones that developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance and CTIA® -The Wireless Association.

The comprehensive testing program provides detailed measurements on key parameters, including: transmit power, receive sensitivity, emitted power, and desensitization in the dual-mode environment. To complete the testing, a device must also be Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™ for core Wi-Fi interoperability and CTIA certified for core cellular performance.

Testing for this program will be conducted in top-tier independent laboratories authorized by CTIA and Wi-Fi Alliance.
