The Wireless Certification Commission is an independent Standardisation and Certification body for Wi-Fi networks.
The WCC is comprised of Wi-Fi industry leaders who are committed to improving the standards of Wi-Fi Network Engineering within the IT industry.
Most Wi-Fi networks are at present not “engineered” to any standard at all. This applies even if you’ve had a “heatmap site survey”, and your Wi-Fi network is installed by a vendor-certified company.
This is why most Wi-Fi networks fail to deliver the Coverage, Capacity, Performance, Reliability and Security that we need; or why they simply cost more than they should. Usually, it’s both.
The WCC has recognised the need for Wi-Fi networks to be Engineered to agreed and Certifiable standards, so that they:
- Meet the specific needs of your organisation
- Are reliable
- Perform well
- Cost less to Purchase
- Cost less to Operate.
In a completely new initiative, the WCC have published Certification Standards which define how Wi-Fi networks should be engineered.
For a whole range of Use Cases, you can download WCC Certification Standards which will allow you to:
- Specify to your IT suppliers exactly how your Wi-Fi network should be engineered.
- Compare on a level playing field the different quotations you receive from different Wi-Fi network suppliers.
- Extract written guarantees from your Wi-Fi network supplier – to ensure the Coverage, Performance, Reliability and Security that you require.
- Get your Wi-Fi network Certified – to ensure that it meets your requirements.
- Hold your supplier to account if your Wi-Fi network does not meet the standards that you agreed.
A WCC-certified Wi-Fi network is guaranteed to meet the requirements of your organisation, and it will do so with a lower cost of ownership.
With a WCC-certified Wi-Fi network, you can rest assured that your wireless network has been designed and engineered to new standards which far surpass the majority of Wi-Fi networks installed to date.
