Starting immediately new Wi-Fi 6 products can certify with TUV Rheinland 
laboratories in Korea, Japan and the United States 

TUV Rheinland, a global leader in testing, inspection and certification 
services, is pleased to announce that it is part of a select group of 
authorized test laboratories deemed qualified to perform Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 6™ 
certification testing. The newly available Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 6 certification 
program brings additional features that deliver substantially greater overall 
Wi-Fi(R) network performance in challenging environments with many connected 
devices such as stadiums, airports, and industrial parks. 

An original Wi-Fi Alliance member, TUV Rheinland was integral to the 
development of the new standard and has labs in Korea, Japan, and the United 
States qualified to provide certification. 

"Our experience and resources include testing and certifying a wide range of 
technologies used in intelligent ecosystems such as smart homes, smart 
buildings and smart cities, which have become key drivers of the Internet of 
Things (IoT). Wi-Fi 6 provides significant capacity, performance, and latency 
improvements for the entire Wi-Fi ecosystem, while ensuring products across 
vendors work well together to deliver greater innovation and opportunities for 
our customers," explains Sarb Shelopal, Director of Wireless, TUV Rheinland.

"Wi-Fi 6 brings significant improvements in Wi-Fi connectivity, and is 
particularly well suited for dense Wi-Fi environments including large business 
and education campuses, transportation hubs, and sports stadiums," said Kevin 
Robinson, VP of Marketing, Wi-Fi Alliance. "Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 6 devices will 
proliferate into the market in the coming months, and we are pleased that TUV 
Rheinland offers Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 6 testing to enable our members to ensure 
their devices bring assurances of security and interoperability." 

Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 6 devices deliver four times the capacity of Wi-Fi 5. This 
higher performance allows for stronger connectivity levels on multiple devices 
using one network simultaneously. Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 6 devices will deliver 
benefits such as higher data rates, expanded network capacity, improved power 
efficiency, and higher quality performance in remote or crowded environments. 
Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 6 devices will be marked by the new Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 6 logo. 

TUV Rheinland Wi-Fi 6 certification testing can begin immediately.
