These new member companies increase the Wi-Fi Alliances presence and continue to build the organizations geographic presence, said Wi-Fi Alliance chairman, Dennis Eaton . We see the broad support for Wi-Fi entering a new phase. Support for Wi-Fi is swelling within several industries outside of the ones that are typically associated with networking and semiconductor development. Wi-Fi is clearly becoming a mainstream technology, continued Eaton.
