Wi-Fi Alliance

The Wi-Fi Alliance is a non profit international association formed in 1999 to certify interoperability of wireless local area network products based on the IEEE 802.11 specifications. Wi-Fi product certification began in March 2000. One of the goals of the WiFi Alliance is to ensure customers realize maximum benefit from their Wi-Fi products in a secure and productive manner.

Equipment passing these interoperability tests are allowed to carry the Wi-Fi logo and service providers meeting a minimum service level may display the Wi-Fi Zone logo.
