MCCI Lab Announces Wireless USB Test Capability
Expands existing suite of MCCI certification and compliance testing expertise
ITHACA, NEW YORK, June 23, 2008
MCCI, a leading developer of Universal Serial Bus (USB)
software technology, today announced certification as an independent test laboratory for nextgeneration
Wireless USB products. Until now, WUSB products were certified through
attendance at USB Compliance Workshops or at Intel.
Testing is available for products in the following categories: Host Wire Adapter (HWA) and
Device Wire Adapter (DWA) end products, as well as native host (WHCI) and device endproducts.
When a product has achieved Wireless USB certification it can bear the Wireless USB
logo on products or product packaging. Companies wishing to use the logo require a logo license
issued by the USB-IF. The logo indicates to the consumer that the product has been tested and
proven to interoperate with other certified Wireless USB products.
“MCCI is the only USB test facility whose main business is USB technology development. The
systems knowledge and USB expertise that MCCI brings to industry compliance test suites is
well known to product vendors as timely, confidential, and cost effective,” said Judith Cone,
MCCI VP Operations.
MCCI can test a WUSB product in one to three weeks without requiring the attendance of
product engineering staff members. Independent testing in MCCI’s dedicated lab will give
developers of WUSB products faster time-to-market and will ensure that proprietary
technologies are not revealed prematurely.
MCCI also offers compliance testing for ExpressCard, PictBridge, and Microsoft’s WHQL
