Wi-Fi specifications

Wi-Fi is a term used to categorize WLAN devices based on the IEEE 802.11
standard. Only products certified as meeting this standard are called Wi-Fi.
Specifically, the certification process requires conformance to the IEEE 802.11 radio
standards as well as the WPA and WPA2 security standards.
According to the Alcatel-Lucent implementation of Wi-Fi for ONTs, the following
requirements must be met:
•
Wi-Fi certified for IEEE 802.11a
•
maximum transmit power (EIRP) equal to or greater than 200 mW (23.01 dBm)
when operating in 802.11b mode
•
Wi-Fi certified for Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) subset function of 802.11e
•
Wi-Fi certified for Power Save, the U-APSD function of 802.11e
•
maximum transmit power (EIRP) equal to or greater than 100 mW (20 dBm)
when operating in 802.11g mode
•
supports an 802.11h wireless access point
•
supports WEP using a 104-bit key as identified in 802.11i
•
Wi-Fi certified for WPA2-Personal that implements the mandatory elements of
802.11i
•
Wi-Fi certified for WPA2-Enterprise
•
802.11g/n processing should not degrade the committed LAN-LAN and/or
LAN-WAN throughput rate
