What exactly is Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Wi-Fi Direct™?
Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Wi-Fi Direct is an upcoming certification program from the Wi-Fi Alliance that defines a new way for Wi-Fi devices to connect to each other. Wi-Fi devices will be able to make direct connection groups quickly and conveniently to do things like print, sync, and share content – even when an access point or router is unavailable. Connections based on the specification will work at typical Wi-Fi speeds and range, protected by WPA2™-certified security protocols and including WMM® Quality of Service mechanisms. Only Wi-Fi Alliance member companies will be able to use the Wi-Fi Direct mark to indicate that their products implement this specification.
