InterDigital (News - Alert), Inc. has joined the Wi-Fi Alliance, a global, non-profit industry association of more than 300 member companies devoted to promoting the growth of wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs).




With the aim of enhancing the user experience for wireless portable, mobile, and home entertainment devices, the Wi-Fi Alliance’s (News - Alert) testing and certification programs helps ensure the interoperability of WLAN products based on the IEEE (News - Alert) 802.11 specification.
 
Since the introduction of the Wi-Fi Alliance’s certification program in March 2000, more than 4,000 products have been designated as Wi-Fi CERTIFIED encouraging the expanded use of Wi-Fi products and services across the consumer and enterprise markets.

“InterDigital is pleased to join the Wi-Fi Alliance,” James J. Nolan, InterDigital’s Executive Vice President, Engineering said in a press release.

“WLAN connectivity is a great complement to the SlimChip Mobile Broadband Modem solutions we are bringing to the market. Furthermore, it is a natural fit with our offering in 802.21 middleware – delivering seamless mobility between any cellular technology, WLAN, and any other air interface. This is critical in meeting consumer expectations for anywhere, anytime ubiquitous broadband coverage with the highest throughput, reliability, and the lowest cost.”
