“WIFFIES” Award
from Wi-Fi Alliance®
Promotion of the AzCert™ Wi-Fi Certification
Test Suite for Test Engine-enabled Devices
Recognized in the Integrated Program
Category
Acton, MA –
June 13, 2007 – Azimuth Systems, Inc.,
the leading provider of Wi-Fi engineering
test equipment, today announced that it has
received a bronze award in the Integrated
Program category of the 2007 Wi-Fi Alliance®
WIFFIES, which recognizes member companies
that showcase innovative use of the Wi-Fi
Alliance brands in six marketing categories.
As a winner of the second annual brand
awards, Azimuth was acknowledged for its
thought leadership program promoting the
AzCert™ Wi-Fi Certification Test Suite for
Test Engine-enabled devices and the new
Wi-Fi Alliance Test Engine architecture.
Other bronze integrated program category
winners include Seiko Epson Corporation and
Sony Electronics, Inc.
The Test Engine
methodology was architected by the Wi-Fi
Alliance task group for Application Specific
Devices (ASDs), and Azimuth Systems was
chosen by the Wi-Fi Alliance to develop
tools required to execute the methodology.
The AzCert Wi-Fi Certification Test Suite
for Test Engine-enabled devices is now used
by Wi-Fi Alliance Authorized Test
Laboratories (ATLs) and allows product
vendors, device manufacturers and
semiconductor vendors to pre-test their
Station Devices using the same approach. It
is expected to streamline the certification
process for a broad range of products with
embedded Wi-Fi connectivity such as phones,
handheld games, cameras, TVs and MP3
players, and also for standard Wi-Fi
equipment such as notebooks and network
cards.
“The AzCert Test
Suite is integral to the Wi-Fi certification
testing process for application specific
devices,” said Graham Celine, senior
director of marketing for Azimuth Systems.
“We’re proud to be recognized by the
Alliance for our efforts to promote our
product and to support the industry’s
standard test methodology for ASDs to become
Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™.”
