Wi-Fi Aliance announced a new standard for wireless communications network that allows two electronic devices directly connected to each other peer to peer without going through the access point or a router. Specification of this technology will become a direct rival to Bluetooth.
Wi-Fi Direct is a new leap in the industry. The Wi-Fi users in the world will benefit from a single technology solution for exchanging and sharing content applications quickly and easily between different devices.
Its transfer speeds as fast as Wi-Fi access that is up to 250 Mbps. Devices that already support Wi-Fi Direct will be able to notify its status to another device and check the status of other devices such as Bluetooth.
