Do you think that the new CCNA certifications are a sign of what is to come? Will the CCNA Voice soon be the prerequisite to a CCVP? CCNA Security for the CCSP?
What about Wireless? Cisco has no formal career certification for Wireless. The last word I received on this topic was that Wireless is incorporated in the CCNP Track. However, if Cisco is able to create an independent associate level certification for wireless, do you think that a CCWP may be on the way? Or even a CCIE - Wireless?
Everything I read is that Wireless is going to become more important as the years go on. Don't you think that if Voice/Security/Service Provider can all have Professional Level tracks, then Wireless deserves one too? Storage Networking even has its own CCIE Track. The wireless product line and feature set that Cisco has to offer is more than enough to warrant a professional level certification.
Wouldn't it make sense for Wireless to be valued as an independent skill. Hopefully this CCNA Wireless certification is the first step in right direction.

actually, Cisco has a specialist's certification in wireless... it's called the Wireless LAN certification. People are definitely recognizing that wireless is its own beast now.

You are correct about the Wireless LAN specialization certifications. However, those certifications are more for Cisco Partners than for an individuals career. Those same specializations exist for all the network fields (R&S, voice, security, etc...).
I think eventually there will be a market for a CCWP or CCIE Wireless just like voice.
