We have more and more devices connected to the Internet. Also, most do it over wireless networks. For this to be possible it is necessary that they have a certain technology and are validated. Now the Wi-Fi Alliance has launched QuickTrack, a process to allow many more devices to have Wi-Fi more easily and quickly.
QuickTrack, faster Wi-Fi certification
The use of IoT devices or the Internet of Things, which are all those that we have in our home connected to the network, has grown a lot in recent years. Companies, when launching a new product on the market, need to have certain validations and certifications. One of them is the Wi-Fi certification, which will allow the user to offer guaranteed wireless connectivity.
The problem is that this process is sometimes very long. Companies take a long time to obtain this certificate and, sometimes, they discourage the creation of new innovative products that can ultimately make life easier for many users.
What the Wi-Fi Alliance is to launch a certification option called QuickTrack. The objective is none other than to validate in a faster way the companies that are going to offer devices that use Wi-Fi. They are going to be faster tests and also affordable.
The QuickTrack certification It will undoubtedly bring important improvements for companies, but also for end users. What we are looking for is to have products that have good Internet speed, adequate quality and stability, and for this they have to go through a certification process.
It will allow more IoT devices
Without a doubt we will notice it in the devices of the Internet of Things that reach the market and consumers. If before a certain device had to carry out a long and also expensive process, now thanks to the QuickTrack certification launched by the Wi-Fi Alliance, all this is shortened.
It is a reality that in the coming years the number of devices that we have connected in our homes will notably increase. Precisely thanks to advances and improvements, such as QuickTrack, they will help make all this easier.
Therefore, the Wi-Fi Alliance has launched a new route for companies to check Wi-Fi connected devices with greater speed and also cost reduction. This on the one hand will make the process of launching a new product on the market faster, but also that it will have a lower cost. The latter could be reflected in the final price that consumers are going to pay.
The Wi-Fi Alliance, on its official website, has a section where we can see the certificate programs. It is what they use, for example, to certify that a certain computer has Wi-Fi 6, Wi-Fi 5, Wi-Fi Direct, if it has WPA-3 encryption, etc. In short, everything related to the wireless connectivity of the different mobile devices, computers or equipment of the Internet of Things.
