Will legacy devices be upgradeable to support the specification underlying the Wi-Fi Direct certification program?

The Wi-Fi Direct certification program does not require new hardware to operate, so some vendors may offer software upgrades. However, it’s important to note that interoperability between devices certified under the Wi-Fi Direct program and legacy devices is a key element of the underlying specification, so even non-upgraded devices can join a network certified as Wi-Fi Direct.
