WMM
Wireless Multimedia (WMM) is a
quality of audio, video and multimedia applications on a wireless network. Both access
points and wireless clients (laptops, consumer electronics products) can be WMM-enabled.
WMM features are based on is a subset of the
Wireless products that are built to the standard and pass a set of quality tests can carry the
"Wi-Fi certified for WMM" label to ensure interoperability with other such products. For
more information, see the WMM page on the Wi-Fi Alliance Web site:
