Transfer of TI’s Wi-Fi Alliance Certifications to CC3x00/CC3x20/CC3x35-Based Product Using the WFA Derivative Certification Policy

Transfer of TI’s Wi-Fi Alliance® Certifications to CC3x00/CC3x20/CC3x35-Based Product Using the WFA Derivative Certification Policy

This document explains how to employ the Wi-Fi Alliance (WFA) derivative certification transfer policy [1] to transfer a WFA certification, already obtained by Texas Instruments™, to a system you have developed.

Texas Instruments has obtained Wi-Fi Alliance certification for the CC3100, CC3200, CC3120, CC3220, CC3135, and CC3235x devices and modules. End products you create that use these devices or modules are eligible for consideration under the Wi-Fi Alliance derivative certification policy.

The transfer of a certification using the Wi-Fi Alliance derivative certification policy is a time- and money-saving mechanism that allows you to mark your system with a Wi-Fi Alliance logo and claim that your system is Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™ without having to visit a Wi-Fi Alliance Authorized Test Lab to perform the certification tests.

(1) With the CC3100 and CC3200 devices, Texas Instruments was the first company to obtain a Wi-Fi certification at the chip level, which demonstrates that all the functions required for Wi-Fi operation have been integrated within these devices.

(2) Also certified in “router” category.

2 Transferring Texas Instruments Wi-Fi Alliance Certification to Your Product

Following are the two basic requirements to transfer a Wi-Fi Alliance certification from Texas Instruments using the Wi-Fi Alliance derivative policy.

Your company must be a member of the Wi-Fi Alliance.

To verify membership, visit http://www.wi-fi.org/who-we-are/member-companies.

Your system must be based on a certified product from Texas Instruments that is listed in Table 2 (the list is current as of January 2020). New products may be added in the future. Full certificate details are available from http://www.wi-fi.org/certified-products-advanced-search.

If your product uses a TI component shown in the column Model in Table 2, you can transfer the corresponding Wi-Fi Alliance certification for the Texas Instruments component to your product by following the steps described in Section 3.

NOTE

The CC3120 and CC3220 devices have the same individual Wi-Fi Alliance certifications that cover both chip and module products from Texas Instruments. However, the CC3100 and CC3200 devices have separate Wi-Fi Alliance certifications for the chip and module components.
