Azimuth Systems Receives 2007 “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™.”

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling
2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed
formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit
design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at
the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps
while tying up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got
Mail" when a new message arrived...
