At it's core, wireless communications and networking has always been about enhancing efficiency, convenience, safety and productivity for users. At the annual Wireless China Industry Summit, you can keep abreast of all the evolving wireless technologies and their applications. For the past eleven years, the annual Wireless China Industry Summit has brought the brightest minds in wireless together to exchange knowledge about the latest trends and developments while showcasing the best solutions. This September, you can look forward to attending education packed presentations and exhibits at Wi-Fi World.
The Wi-Fi Alliance will once again host the day-long Wi-Fi World at the Wireless China Industry Summit. In it's third year, Wi-Fi World will host speakers and panels to discuss the implications of new technologies in Wi-Fi, such as 60GHz, high throughput, and low power Wi-Fi. Groups will also explore the expanding uses of Wi-Fi in new markets, including healthcare, smart energy, and ever-growing internet connectivity.
In today's highly mobile world, Wireless LANs enabled by Wi-Fi supports the business process, allowing enterprises to be more productive. Wi-Fi connectivity contributes to the greater functionality and value of everything from health care monitoring devices to consumer electronics and beyond. Wi-Fi mesh networks are now widely found on campuses, industrial parks, hot zones and across large cities worldwide, providing the community they serve convenient and ubiquitous access to the Internet. Public safety programs are increasingly employing Wi-Fi networks for surveillance and emergency response. Smartphones and telecom networks powered by Wi-Fi allow carriers to offload data traffic and attract more subscribers.

Session 1
Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Wi-Fi Direct™: Easy-to-Use Device-to-Device Connectivity
Introduced in October 2010, Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Wi-Fi Direct is one of the most exciting developments in Wi-Fi technology to date. Wi-Fi Direct devices discover other Wi-Fi devices, connect easily even when a hotspot or Wi-Fi network isn’t available, and enable apps like file sharing, photo sharing, multimedia synch, and even device-to-device gaming. More than two hundred handsets, TVs, tablets, and set top boxes have been certified so far.
This training will provide an in-depth look at Wi-Fi Peer to Peer, which underlies Wi-Fi Direct. Wi-Fi Alliance technical staff HuQiumin and Gao Hong from our Authorized Test Lab, TMC, will provide details on the use cases, specification, test methodology, and deployment considerations.
Session 2
Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Hotspots: Transforming the User Experience in Service Provider Wi-Fi Networks
There are 1.4 million Wi-Fi hotspots worldwide - and that number is growing rapidly. Chinese service providers have announced plans to build as many as 1 million more Wi-Fi hotspots in the next few years. Meanwhile, the growth in Wi-Fi enabled mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets is also exploding. But getting connected at hotspots can still be a complicated process - frustrating users and limiting service providers’ ability to use Wi-Fi hotspots for 3G data offload.
Wi-Fi Alliance members, including service providers and equipment makers, are developing a new specification and certification program that will address this problem. The Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Hotspot program will address devices making a quick, seamless connection to a security-protected hotspot with minimal user intervention. The program is planned for release in 2012.
An in-depth training session by Wi-Fi Alliance technical staff Hu Qiumin will provide a detailed overview of the various use cases and emerging technical specification addressing Wi-Fi CERTIFIED hotspots.
