With Wi-Fi 6E potentially about to create a revolution in networking, the Wireless Broadband Alliance (WBA) has invited all organisations in the Wi-Fi ecosystem to become part of a globally available Wi-Fi federation, WBA OpenRoaming.

The WBA aims to drive “seamless”, interoperable service experiences via Wi-Fi within the global wireless ecosystem and strives to enable collaboration between service providers, technology companies and all other organisations within the wireless ecosystem.
The WBA insists that OpenRoaming can simplify Wi-Fi, much like the cellular roaming experience.

It says companies that join WBA OpenRoaming can allow end-users to automatically connect on any Wi-Fi network managed by a federation member. This, it claims, creates a world where Wi-Fi users move from one network to another without needing to constantly re-register or sign in.

For organisations and businesses, WBA believes OpenRoaming can provide the opportunity to create new commercial business models and innovative services with speed and simplicity. It sees use cases from enterprises to coffee shops, concert venues and even connected cars.

Companies that join WBA OpenRoaming will be included in a federation of identity and network providers.
