Wi-Fi Certification Paths#

Eligible members will have the following options for certification:

• New Certification - Flex Track: Interoperability and conformance methodology to test and certify members’ end products using Wi-Fi Alliance test plans and test beds.

• Variant Certification - Quick Track: Wi-Fi Alliance methodology to test and certify end products when developed based on a Qualified Solution that includes a change to components and/or capabilities and maintains Wi-Fi interoperability. An end product may undergo QuickTrack testing at either an MCTL, STL, or ATL.

• Derivative Certification: Wi-Fi Certified product that has been modified but does not impact the Wi-Fi operation

For Example,

• The End Product user wants WFA certification for their IoT sensor device that uses a Silicon Labs SiWx917 module, then the Derivative certification would be ideal here – where the Silicon Labs Qualified Solution is used without modification to Wi-Fi CC components.

  For this, the customer would need to become a member of the Wi-Fi Alliance and obtain a Certification ID.

• The End Product user wants to certify their end-product that uses a SiWx917 chipset in NCP mode with change to the RF frontend.

  Then the Quick Track path would be ideal here. For this, the customer would need to become a member of the Wi-Fi Alliance and obtain a Certification ID.
