The mission of the University of New Hampshire Interoperability Lab (IOL) is externally focused and is to provide testing services for vendors of computer communications devices. The IOL is involved in research and development work, but is mainly used by a community of over 100 vendors to verify the interoperability and/or conformance of their computer communications products. This service of the IOL is performed through independent, focused interest groups in the lab called consortiums, and the Wireless Consortium tests 802.11 products and software from both an interoperability and conformance perspective.
