AUSTIN, Texas-The Wi-Fi Alliance said it has announced the first round of products certified for Wi-Fi Protected Access, otherwise known as WPA2. The products will hit the market later this month.
The companies with certified products include Atheros, Broadcom Inc., Cisco Systems Inc. and Intel Corp.
The WPA2, which is based on the 802.11i standard, builds on its predecessor, the WPA.
“Enterprise security needs are not a stationary target, and the Wi-Fi Alliance is committed to certification programs that meet evolving security requirements,” said Frank Hanzlik, Wi-Fi Alliance managing director. “WPA2 is ideally suited for enterprises in both public and private sectors.”
