Wi-Fi Alliance Voice-Enterprise Certification: Standardized Fast Secure Roaming

Andrew von Nagy from Revolution Wi-Fi comments:

The industry needed a high performance, yet secure, solution to this mobility problem. The answer lies with fast secure roaming. Pre-standard solutions, such as CCKM and OKC have been around for some time but have failed to realize widespread adoption, especially by client manufacturers. The  Wi-Fi Allianceâ„¢  Voice-Enterprise certification program, introduced  May 2012 and already appearing in major WLAN products, brings a standards-based fast roaming method to market, which serves to align infrastructure and client manufacturers on a common implementation method and provides the benefits of low-latency roaming performance while maintaining strong security with WPA2-Enterprise.
