The new WiFi Direct is a wonderful device, which is definitely going to help the users to exchange relevant data and share applications without the availability of any WiFi access point. It absolutely requires no hotspot or router to establish a wireless connection. The new wireless networking specification has a myriad uses, which goes beyond the Bluetooth territory even threatening to make the current wireless protocol outdated. The devices would soon get certification to get WiFi Direct compliance by the mid of next year. The certification will be finalized by the WiFi Alliance.

Edgar Figueroa, the executive director of WiFi Alliance believes that the new spec is a big leap for the industry. The single technology solution would provide excellent benefits for all the users to transfer their content and share applications in a fast and easy way even when there is no WiFi access available around the area. WiFi Direct is set to make the WiFi more pervasive and rally beneficial for the end users and across different businesses.

Though peer-to-peer wireless networking is still around, it is somewhat complex and unmanageable and has a maximum speed of just 11 Mbps. On the other hand WiFi Direct promises speed of up to 250 Mbps in addition to broadcasting the availability of its devices and finding out other WiFi Direct devices. The great thing about WiFi Direct is that it can connect in pairs as well as in groups and you need to have just one device compliant with WiFi Direct to establish a connection and to transfer files and information.
