WiFi Direct Device Certification Started Today
WiFi Alliance announced the start of certification of WiFi Direct devices (previously known as WiFi Peer-to-Peer). For the Christmas sales season, the first devices with a direct WiFi connection will probably be on sale.
The standard provides for P2P data transfer directly between devices without routers or hot spots. Networking supports both two devices and several. It is assumed that support for direct data transfer will be built into computers, printers, televisions, mobile phones, digital cameras, keyboards, etc. Connecting devices is very simple, and the standard itself is open, so according to experts, WiFi Direct can supplant Bluetooth in many situations.
The speed of P2P connections corresponds to the usual WiFi protocol. It is not yet clear whether it will be possible to upgrade existing WiFi devices programmatically so that they begin to support direct transmission.

The first certificate of conformity, presumably, will receive the following devices.
