4 Full list of member companies at Wi-Fi Alliance snapshot Model collaboration forum of nearly 500 members, enabling Wi-Fi adoption Wi-Fi CERTIFIED is a worldclass interoperability validation program that promotes accelerated adoption of new technology, and delivers the best user experience More than 12,500 product certifications completed 4

5 The Proof is in the Numbers

6 Wi-Fi is an unrivaled success More than ten percent of the world s population uses Wi-Fi Wi-Fi device shipments surpassed one billion in 2011* Yearly double-digit device sales growth Connected products and applications are exploding: More than 3,500 Wi-Fi CERTIFIED certifications issued in 2011 Recent certifications include: sewing machine, refrigerator, clothes washer, air conditioner, computer mouse * Source: ABI Research 6

7 Yearly Wi-Fi chipset shipments and Wi-Fi CERTIFIED product certifications 7

8 Wi-Fi CERTIFIED volume grew 48 percent in

9 Wi-Fi technology portfolio expanding to meet demand for an exciting range of applications 9

10 Coming soon: Wi-Fi CERTIFIED for display and audio applications

11 Wi-Fi certifications rise in consumer electronics Consumer electronics are a fast growing portion of Wi-Fi product certifications Wi-Fi sales expected to grow 35 percent between in the connected home category* (ABI Research) TVs, media players and gaming consoles 11

12 Product certification for Wi-Fi display and audio application coming soon The grow in Wi-Fi CE devices sets the stage for the introduction of a new specification certification program Connect devices for a rich audio/video experience without cables or a connection to an existing Wi-Fi network Watch videos from a smartphone on a big screen television Share a laptop screen with the conference room projector Listen to music from a home theater receiver on a set of Wi-Fi headphones Requires WPA2 security 12

13 Other Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Programs on the Horizon

14 Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Passpoint will streamline connectivity in hotspots Hotspot usage continues to explode: Public hotspots to reach nearly six billion by 2015* Hotspot usage to reach 120 billion connections by 2015** Service providers worldwide rely increasingly on Wi-Fi for data offload Annual global mobile data traffic predicted to grow 4x today s volume to more than 16 TB by 2014* Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Passpoint devices will deliver a consistent, automated connection process, WPA2 security and support inter-provider roaming agreements Certification launch planned for mid-2012 * Source: Wireless Broadband Alliance and Informa, 2011 ** Source: In-Stat,

15 VHT in 5 GHz (802.11ac) is the fifth generation of Wi-Fi CERTIFIED technology Stream up to three lightly compressed HD video streams, rapidly synch large files, and connect for demanding applications at gigabit data rates Very High Throughput in 5 GHz technology builds on Wi-Fi CERTIFIED n and interoperates with legacy 5 GHz devices Dual-band (2.4 and 5 GHz) networking products are expected to be very widespread in the early market Over-the-air transmissions will be encrypted using WPA2, the latestgeneration security technology Certification program planned for late

16 60 GHz technology is an exciting companion to Wi-Fi networking technology Certification for 60 GHz devices is also expected late this year/early 2013 delivering multi-gigabit data rates and low latency to support a range of applications Stream uncompressed HD video Enjoy video gaming with no noticeable latency Dock a range of devices without cables Multi-band devices will seamlessly hand over data streams from 60 GHz to Wi-Fi, providing whole-home, high-performance networking, boosted with islands of even higher data rate 60 GHz connections Over-the-air transmissions will be encrypted using WPA2, the latest-generation security technology 16

17 Thank you! User demand for Wi-Fi continues to drive increased sales and certification momentum Certification for Wi-Fi display, coming in mid-2012, will be a key technology for consumer electronics Lots of exciting innovation on the horizon for faster, higher-performing connectivity technologies White papers, video animations, FAQ and more available at Point of contact: Karl Stetson, Edelman: karl.stetson@edelman.com 17
