What's Hotspot 2.0?

Hotspot 2.0 is a specification developed by Wi-Fi Alliance members to make it much easier for users to securely connect to Wi-Fi networks, and to effectively replicate the mobile experience through secure connectivity, automation, and compliance with user and carrier policies to enable roaming between different Wi-Fi networks. Its development contains a huge number of industry energy, such as the Passpoint™ project under the Wi-Fi Alliance (WFA) certification, Wireless Broadband Alliance (WBA) and other organizations such as interoperability.

With the help of Hotspot 2.0, a large network of efficient random Wi-Fi access points can be realized via network interconnection. As a result, users can enjoy a seamless experience while moving between Wi-Fi networks in almost any location. To do this, you have to implement a comprehensive overhaul of the Wi-Fi connection program. Hotspot 2.0 fully automates the connection process while using Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) to provide air link encryption (WPA2).

Hotspot 2.0 (also known as passpoint authentication) access points and controllers have been launched by major infrastructure vendors from around the world for a year. Samsung, Apple and other manufacturers have recently launched a new Hotspot 2.0 smart phones, the world's leading manufacturers are now consistent targeting profit targets-directly deal with the concerns of many operators, namely: in the case of so many free network, how to use Wi-Fi to create profits

Chetan Sharma, an industry analyst, said that about 90% of U.S. tablets last year relied on Wi-Fi, rather than 3G mobile broadband, to integrate fully distributed high-speed Wi-Fi data access into a unified high-speed network, which people would gladly pay for, by creating such a hot roaming alliance, The so-called bowl full of the things that are ripe. Hotspot 2.0 is the key to implementation.
