No device is an island
The same wireless convenience that you enjoy in your
mobile computing devices is driving the explosion of Wi-Fi
in consumer electronics and appliances, making them
smart, or capable of accessing the cloud and other devices.
You can now find Wi-Fi in thermostats, cameras, flash
drives, TVs, Blu-Ray players, and even refrigerators. In the
future, you’ll see Wi-Fi in a lot more devices and places.
The Wi-Fi Direct standard lets you easily con-
nect devices directly to each other via Wi-Fi.
You don’t even need a Wi-Fi access point.

Wi-Fi traffic congestion
The enormous popularity of Wi-Fi attracts people and
their devices like a giant magnet. With the rapid growth

Ray video streaming), more folks using and staying
connected to the cloud, and more and more Wi-Fi
enabled devices in use, is it any surprise that Wi-Fi net-
works are becoming crowded?
