In addition, Wi-Fi Compact Flash card certifications are increasing as Wi-Fi is used in smaller devices,î Eaton added. As more laptops are shipped with Wi-Fi built in, mPCI cards take over their share of the market. We are also seeing the certification rate of mPCI cards (cards that go inside laptops and PDAs) increase and PC cards decline slightly. First, two new categories of Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™ products have emerged ñ Wi-Fi Cable modems and Wi-Fi DSL modems. ìLooking at the numbers a little closer reveals some very interesting trends. This is driving the companies to certify products,î continued Eaton. It is becoming increasingly clear that customers want a good user experience and Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™ products help them get that. ìDuring this period we have also seen a fifteen percent increase in the number of companies offering Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™ products. ìWi-Fi certifications continue to set an impressive pace with a forty percent increase over the prior period,î said WECA chairman Dennis Eaton. This four-month period saw the addition of 15 new companies seeking Wi-Fi certification for their products for a total of 98 companies offering Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™ products. Since testing began in March of 2002, 509 Wi-Fi product certifications have been awarded to 98 Wi-Fi Alliance member companies.
