Wi-Fi Direct

Wi-Fi Alliance announced today, October 25, the launch of Wi-Fi standard Direct. The new standard allows direct connection of two wireless devices without the need for the existence of a network.
Wi-Fi Direct is mainly intended to allow the direct transfer of files between two wireless devices. The most interesting part is that only one of the devices must know Wi-Fi Direct, the other can connect to it. The Alliance has already certified several companies to use the new standard in future products. These include Intel, Atheros, Broadcom, Ralink and Realtek.
Wi-Fi Direct is a software that says Wi-Fi Alliance, will be offered, "sometime in the future" for download. This means that there can be as current devices, and they are compatible with Wi-Fi Direct. Upon connection, Wi-Fi Direct offers WPA2 encryption and authentication type.

Wi-Fi Alliance a anuntat astazi, 25 Octombrie, lansarea standardului Wi-Fi Direct. Noul standard permite conectarea directa a doua dispozitive wireless fara a mai fi nevoie de existenta unei retele.

Wi-Fi Direct are ca scop principal sa permita transferul direct de fisiere dintre doua dispozitive wireless. Partea cea mai interesanta e ca doar unul dintre dispozitive trebuie sa stie Wi-Fi Direct, celalalt se poate conecta la el. Alianta a certificat deja cateva companii pentru a folosi noul standard in viitoarele produse. Printre acestea se numara Intel, Atheros, Broadcom, Ralink si Realtek.

Wi-Fi Direct este un software care, spune Wi-Fi Alliance, va fi oferit, “candva in viitor”, pentru download. Ceea ce inseamna ca exista posibilitatea ca dispozitivele actuale sa fie, si ele, compatibile cu Wi-Fi Direct. La conectare, Wi-Fi Direct ofera criptare si autentificare de tip WPA2.
