AUSTIN-The Wi-Fi Alliance announced it has adopted a color-coded Wi-Fi Certified logo and a product Interoperability Certificate for its Wi-Fi Certified branding program, designed to help consumers in wireless local area network purchasing decisions.
“Technology consumers at home and in the enterprise need to know which features of their products have been certified for interoperability by the Wi-Fi Alliance. The source for this information is the Interoperability Certificate displayed with each certified product on the Wi-Fi Alliance Web site,” explained Frank Hanzlik, the Wi-Fi Alliance’s managing director. “The new logo is specifically designed for consumers selecting a product in retail stores. It helps consumers ensure that they buy products that work together.”
The Wi-Fi Alliance will require newly certified products to include the logo and suggests the certificate be included inside the product’s packaging.
