What do these have in common: the HP iPaq h6315; the Nokia 9500 Communicator, the Intermec 760 Mobile Computer, the Motorola MPx and the Sandisk Connect WiFi card? Answer: all are "approved" by the WiFi Alliance. All are cellular phone products. Question: who cares?
The obvious answer is: "The WiFi Alliance cares." It badly needs to have its logo more widely recognised and valued, and especially if it is to significantly influence rogue WiFi members who jump the gun on pre-standard products.
However, the excuse for expanding the WiFi approved logo to cellular must have impressed these manufacturers, or the Alliance wouldn't have been able to get them submitted for compatibility testing.
The way the Alliance sees the move, it is "meeting the unique needs of the cellular industry, deploying converged WiFi/Cellular products."
To meet these unique needs, the Alliance has formed a new group, the WCC task group, for WiFi/Cellular Convergence, and the list of products above is the first round of certified products, providing both WiFi and cellular communications.
