The Enhanced Wireless Consortium (EWC)

The Enhanced Wireless Consortium (EWC) was formed to help accelerate the IEEE 802.11n development process and promote a technology specification for interoperability of next-generation wireless local area networking (WLAN) products.

Agilent Technologies & Wi-Fi Alliance (WFA) - Interoperability Certification Labs (ICL)

http://www.wi-fi.org

The Wi-Fi Alliance is an industry consortium focused on increasing the global adoption of Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11) solutions. The WFA recognized that a key enabler of faster adoption for a new technology is the interoperability of equipment from different manufacturers. Agilent Technologies, under contract from the WFA, was tasked to create and operate several Interoperability Certification Labs around the world. To meet its objective, the ICL established a standard test bed that would be used in all labs. WildPackets’ AiroPeek product was an integral part of this test bed, and has been instrumental to the certification of all products that bear the Wi-Fi Alliance logo.
