Soon you'll have a standards-based power saving mechanism for Wi-Fi devices. Check this article:

My point is that this isn't providing anything new. Most STAs can already go into power save mode more efficiently by flipping the Power Management bit on and off. WMM Power Save is doing exactly that. The only difference is that Access Categories, which is something that is present in WMM already anyway.

Obviously having an official standard for this is good. I am just pointing out that the method is something that most stations already use.

Success Stories

I literally just came out of the testing centre having taken the CWDP exam. The certification process opened my mind to different techniques and solutions. This knowledge can only broaden your perspective. Great job, CWNP, you have a great thing going on here.

Working through the CWNP coursework and certifications helped not only to deepen my technical knowledge and understanding, but also it boosted my confidence. The hard work it took to earn my CWNE has been rewarding in so many ways.

I want to commend you and all at CWNP for having a great organization. You really 'raise the bar' on knowing Wi-Fi well. I have learned a ton of information that is helping my job experience and personal career goals, because of my CWAP/CWDP/CWSP studies. Kudos to all at CWNP.
