Wi-Fi Direct – Increases Interconnectivity Between Devices



It is always nice to have all of your devices talking to one another via a single, universal standard. The new Wi-Fi Direct certification aims to make this a simpler reality.
The Wi-Fi Alliance — the people who dish out certification to guarantee wireless interoperability—has a new standard ready. Wi-Fi Direct will be a stamp of approval given to devices of all kinds that use their own wireless connectivity to directly connect with each other—no network required.
Wireless printing, streaming, sharing—and all the other things can be done without the need for any network, which translates to a Wi-Fi Direct certified laptop printing over-the-air without having to talk to your router. Speed, setup, and security should all be about what you’d expect from a typical wireless network.
This indirectly results in less cords and eliminates the need for hardware upgrades, with said certification being applied with a firmware upgrade.
