    45== What parts of the 802.11 standard are implemented? ==
     
    910The specifics of the current implementation are discussed in the [wiki:../PHY PHY] and [wiki:../MAC MAC] pages of this user guide.

    1212== What encryption schemes are supported? ==
    1313None.
     
    1515This could be an interesting future extension, but falls far outside our areas of expertise.

    1917== Is the WARP 802.11 Reference Design Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™? ==
    2018No.
    2119
    2220Wi-Fi® is a trademark of the [https://www.wi-fi.org/ Wi-Fi Alliance], an industry association which seeks to ensure compliance and inter-operability of wireless networking equipement. Our design is intended to be a starting point for researchers, not a wireless device for end-users. The whole point of this design is to enable experiments with extensions to the standard. Pursuit of Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™ status doesn't facilitate this.

    2622== How is the WARP 802.11 Reference Design licensed? ==
     
    3632Please note that the license requires this design only be used on hardware manufactured by Mango Communications. We recognize this requirement diverges from true open source. It is the only approach we can conceive that justifies the significant investment of resources to develop and support a complex design distributed at no cost. We want to provide hardware and reference designs that enable great research. We can't do this as free IP suppliers for competing platforms.
