Wireless Revolution: Introducing Intel My WiFi Technology

By 2012, In-Stat estimates a whopping 1 billion new devices will ship with Wi-Fi. In the near future, products like printers, smart-phones, digital cameras, personal media players, digital photo frames, game consoles, even televisions, DVD players and speakers will include Wi-Fi. Have you thought about how to integrate or fully utilize your Wi-Fi function? Or what are the best ways to synch, share, show, and print the digital content among different Wi-Fi embedded devices?

Intel has a solution. Intel® My WiFi technology can resolve the problem. Intel® My WiFi Technology is a Wi-Fi Personal Area Network (Wi-Fi PAN) technology that allows a single Wi-Fi adapter in an Intel® Centrino® 2 notebook to function like two separate adapters. The operating system sees two Wi-Fi interfaces and each interface offers a service. One interface can connect to any standard Wi-Fi certified Access Point (AP). The other interface enables a Wi-Fi PAN that can operate concurrently with the Wi-Fi Local Area Network (Wi-Fi LAN) connection. CE devices with embedded Wi-Fi see this Wi-Fi PAN network as just another Wi-Fi network to which they can associate.

You can say that this is a second revolution in wireless technology. Making connections among all your WiFi embaded device will no longer be a hassle. Intel has released the application on their web site for user download and experience. This software works on Intel® Centrino® 2 system. It only supports Windows Vista and Windows 7 OS.

Finally, Intel has also started to provide “My WiFi” Logo Certification Service to various Wi-Fi embedded products. For question or if you need more detailed information, please write to us at service@allion.com

New To Device Testing? Check Out Our Test Facility Basics

For those of you new to device testing, here’s a look into product testing at a third party testing facility.
Device testing ensures the quality and interoperability of a product. In order for devices to achieve certification from a company or standards organization, the device must pass compliance tests, which ensure it will work properly with other certified products.
Nearly all companies require conforming a product to stated specifications and protocols to ensure functionality and compatibility with products from other manufacturers. Test procedures are developed in partnership with standards organizations (such as Bluetooth SIG, USB Implementers Forum and Wi-Fi Alliance) and the industry leaders who guide enabling technology.
Device test labs offer test and measurement and can benefit developers throughout each product stage. Using a third party test lab offers neutrality, cutting-edge testing methods and the ability to observe and address trending problems. Testing labs provide valuable feedback to product developers and standards organizations. Using a third party test lab is often a cost effective test solution – developing an in-house test lab calls for expensive equipment that requires frequent updating and a dedicated staff proficient in device testing.
After a device reaches all benchmarks and passes all checkpoints, certification can be established. Working with a trusted test lab throughout product development ensures quality testing and moves the product along through the development cycle.
