Agenda

Wi-Fi Alliance Introduction

Introducing Wi-Fi Protected Setup Whats Ahead for 2007: 802.11n and More


3/24


Wi-Fi Alliance Overview

Non-profit international association of more than 300 membercompanies and growing (www.wi-fi.org); 10 independent authorized

test labs in 6 countries Industry/thought leader and worldwide certification body for WLAN

technology

Driving collaboration within the ecosystem: manufacturers, standard

bodies, regulators, service providers, and carriers Broad member representation across the convergence ecosystem:

silicon, manufacturers, applications, and carriers

Wi-Fi CERTIFIED brings interoperability and better user experience to

WLAN technology; more than 3,000 products certified to date

Wi-Fi Industry tracking to ship more

than half a billion units in 2010

The Wi-Fi Industryshipped 200M chipsets

in 2006

802.11n and next-generation applications

are a key growth driver

As new consumersenter the market,

improved userexperience and ease of

use are a key enabler

Consumers love Wi-Fi, but they want it

to be easier to set up and protect

Strong security is a requirement on Wi-Fi CERTIFIED devices, butenabling it has up to now been somewhat difficult

2 in 5 consumers still have not activated the security on their Wi-Finetwork*

44% of consumers described activating security on a Wi-Fi networkas moderately to very difficult**

Most (83%) of people think usingsomeone elses Wi-Fi networkwithout their knowledge is stealing,but about half of people admit that

they have done so***

Introducing Wi-Fi Protected Setup:

Easing setup in home and small office networks

Wi-Fi Protected Setup is anoptional certification program

designed to ease set up ofsecurity-enabled Wi-Finetworks in the home andsmall office environment

This new optional certificationprogram provides two easy-to-use methods to configure a network:

Push-Button Configuration

PIN / numeric code

WFA Authorized Test Labs are taking orders and the first productswill enter the market during Q1 2007


7/24


Wi-Fi Protected Setup has broad industry

support across the value chain

This program is based upon the firstspecification developed solely by WFAmember companies

Broad support for a consistent,industry-wide solution led to a largeand active task group

Silicon, devices, software, andservice providers all participated

The Wi-Fi Simple Config Specificationdetails Wi-Fi protected setup and ispublicly available at www.wi-fi.org

Later, the program will support Near-Field Communication and USB FlashDrive methods for activation

How Wi-Fi Protected Setup works

When a consumer brings home a newWi-Fi CERTIFIED Wi-Fi Protected Setup

device and turns it on, the networkdetects its presence automatically

The user is prompted to either enter aPIN or push the button

The network name and encryption

information are securely transferred tothe device

A variety of devices can support Wi-FiProtected Setup, from PCs and routers tocameras and phones

New client devices can easily join anexisting Wi-Fi Protected Setup network


9/24


Outlining PIN and Push Button methods

PIN Configuration:

8-digit PIN required for each

device on the network PIN can be fixed or dynamic,

but is never user-generated somore secure

PIN is entered into Registrar via

a graphical user interface

Registrar is an entity on thenetwork that issues and revokescredentials

WPA or WPA2 security isenabled

Push-button Configuration:

User pushes button on AP and

client device(s) Especially useful for devices

without a PC-type of interface

Final result is the same as PINmethod: WPA or WPA2 security

is enabled

Coming later this year: Near FieldCommunication method, in which auser touches a token or card to a

device. NFC support is expected tobe added in 1H 2007

Look for a new Wi-Fi Protected Setup

visual identifier to find products

The Visual Identifier will appear on packaging, on products, and insoftware interfaces for enabling Wi-Fi Protected Setup

Consumers should look for products that are Wi-Fi CERTIFIED forWi-Fi Protected Setup as a mark of interoperability and ease of use

802.11n: Next-generation Wi-Fi,

coming later this year

802.11n will bring an estimated 6x throughput and improved range forWi-Fi networks and next-generation Quality of Service features

WFA plans to introduce a certification program for pre-standard IEEE802.11n products in the first half of 2007 to help ensure interoperabilityfor a baseline set of features

The Wi-Fi Alliance plans to certify productsbased on the final IEEE 802.11n standardwhen it is ratified, supporting what we

expect to be a larger set of features and afully reviewed and interoperablestandards based solution


23/24


What does 802.11n enable?

802.11n takes Wi-Fi into the next generation of applications,beyond PC networking

Opens new opportunitiesin voice and video applicationswith improved quality ofservice and higher throughput

Helps deliver all WLANapplications with broaderrange and more reliablecoverage

Consumer-friendly Wi-Fi CERTIFED logo will enable usersto easily determine how to mix and match 802.11n andlegacy equipment
