What is Wi-Fi Direct in Smartphones?

Wi-fi Direct

WiFi Direct is wireless technology allowing several WiFi-enabled devices to interact directly with each other without having to go through a router.

WiFi Direct will enable you to wirelessly print from a device or enable two players to play against each other in a WiFi-supported video game by directly partnering the two devices. And, though WiFi Direct is a new technology, current standards will require only one device to be WiFi Direct-enabled as long as the partner device is WiFi capable. The technology is similar to a Bluetooth connection but much stronger and with a better connection and further reach.
