    Make connecting to Wi-Fi services as easy, seamless

    and secure as todays 3G cellular experience

    The challenge

    Today

    Connecting to a Wi-Fi hotspot is completely manual Login process tedious, error prone

    No consistent roaming between networks

    Many steps to gain Internet access

    Difficult to connect to Web portal with phones

    Carriers lose opportunity for their roaming polices

    to affect network selection

    Tomorrow

    Device and network negotiate capabilities Device auto selects best Wi-Fi network

    Users do nothing

    Policies pushed to phone

    New revenue source for carriers

    Carriers gain opportunity for their roaming

    polices to affect network selection

    The solution The industry has come together on a plan calledHotspot 2.0 (WI-FI CERTIFIED PasspointTM)

    Release 1

    Allows an AP to advertise capabilities pre-association

    Capabilities include roaming arrangements amongst other

    things

    Supports seamless authentication via 802.1x

    Standard complete

    Release 2

    Automate the process of configuring EAP on the device Download an operator policy

    Introduce support for non SIM-based devices

    Standard will emerge in mid 2013

    802.11u, HotSpot 2.0 and Next Gen HotSpots

    ORGANIZATION INITIATIVE DETAILS

    IEEE 802.11U

    IEEE standard published in Feb. 2011 Used to enable faster (automated) discovery and

    selection of Wi-Fi APs

    Required on APs and mobile devices

    Wi-Fi

    Alliance

    HotSpot

    2.0

    Capabilities including enhanced discovery and

    automated device provisioning that enables a

    3G type experience for Wi-Fi users

    Certification program driven by the Wi-Fi Alliance

    Leverages 802.11u and adds extensions

    Covers SIM and non-SIM devices (e.g. laptops),

    utilizes 802.1X as the core authentication protocol

    Next

    Generation

    Hotspot

    (NGH)

    WBA operator trials to develop a commoncommercial technical framework for interoperability

    across networks, technologies and devices.

    Leverages HotSpot 2.0, 802.11u and adds

    How it works1. 802.11u-capable AP beacons

    with HS2.0 support

    2. Device probes with HS2.0

    support

    3. Device selects AP and

    performs ANQP request todetermine what providers are

    supported, capabilities of the

    AP, etc.

    4. AP responds to ANQP query

    with requested information

    5. Device compares provisioned

    profile information against

    HS2.0 data from APs and

    associates to the best BSSID
