These new member companies increase the Wi-Fi Alliances presence and continue to build the organizations geographic presence, said Wi-Fi Alliance chairman, Dennis Eaton . We see the broad support for Wi-Fi entering a new phase. Support for Wi-Fi is swelling within several industries outside of the ones that are typically associated with networking and semiconductor development. Wi-Fi is clearly becoming a mainstream technology, continued Eaton.

About the Wi-Fi Alliance

The Wi-Fi Alliance is a nonprofit organization formed in 1999 to certify interoperability of IEEE 802.11 products and to promote them as the global, wireless LAN standard across all market segments.

The Wi-Fi Alliance has instituted a test suite that defines how member products are tested to certify that they are interoperable with other Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™ products. These tests are conducted at an independent laboratory.

Membership in the Wi-Fi Alliance is open to all companies that support the 802.11 family of standards. Wi-Fi Alliance now comprises over 190 members that offer over 500 Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™ products from the worlds leading companies.
