Monona, WI – WayFi Wireless, in partnership with Alta Labs and Single Digits, today announced the rollout of Enhanced Connect-Info Metrics in direct support of the IETF Connect-Info draft and the Wireless Broadband Alliance’s (WBA) Access Network Metrics initiative.

This advancement ensures that carriers receive the richest, standards-aligned Connect-Info attributes through RADIUS packet signaling, allowing carriers worldwide to make smarter, data-driven Wi-Fi offload decisions. By aligning with WBA’s work, the collaboration strengthens the ecosystem for carrier Wi-Fi roaming and cellular offload, especially in high-demand scenarios with the largest mobile network operators worldwide. Alta Labs is the first global commercial Wi-Fi equipment provider to provide these attributes.

Key Highlights

  • Direct Support of WBA Standards
     Implements the IETF Connect-Info syntax while adhering to the WBA’s Access Network Metrics framework, ensuring that carrier decision-making is based on standardized, globally recognized metrics.

  • Carrier Optimization
     Enhanced Connect-Info Metrics improve how the largest mobile network operators evaluate Wi-Fi environments, allowing for intelligent offload decisions that reduce congestion and improve end-user performance.

  • Partner Collaboration

    • WayFi Wireless:  Wi-Fi Roaming integration services provider

    • Alta Labs: Wi-Fi Infrastructure ensuring the highest quality carrier-grade Wi-Fi roaming signaling in real-world deployments.

    • Single Digits: Carrier Wi-Fi Roaming carrier integration ensuring full compliance with WBA standards-based frameworks.

  • Invisible to End Users
     While the enhancements operate behind the scenes, they directly improve roaming reliability, reduce friction, and ensure delivery of a carrier-grade Wi-Fi experience.

Executive Perspective

“By embedding Enhanced Connect-Info Metrics into RADIUS flows validated by Single Digits, we’re implementing the very standards the WBA has been championing,” said Russ From, Co-Founder of WayFi Wireless. “This gives carriers the insight they need to offload in real time intelligently and securely, while ensuring seamless carrier grade roaming for cellular devices establishing Alta Labs as the highest quality commercial Wi-Fi roaming equipment provider in the world.”

Alta Labs Statement:

Jeff Hansen, CTO of Alta Labs, states, “It has been exciting to see the improved connectivity for end-users as more and more operators integrate carrier offloading with Passpoint technology. The painless onboarding process of already existing SIM card credentials is hard to beat. Restaurants, hotels, airports, and stadiums can improve their customers’ overall experiences through improved connectivity within their venues. We have invested in providing these improved analytics to arm carriers to make data-driven decisions, and expand their carrier offload and roaming programs.”

Single Digits Statement:

“The importance of Quality of Experience (QoE) to our customers cannot be understated. The work Single Digits has done with our partners to provide in-RADIUS metrics is key for the continued growth of WiFi offload,” stated John Nelson, CTO of Single Digits. “As WiFi offload continues to evolve, providing operators the information necessary to better manage their end-user experience will benefit everyone in the industry.”

Context

The Wireless Broadband Alliance’s Access Network Metrics initiative outlined the need for a standardized modern approach to Wi-Fi performance reporting to carriers. By leveraging this work and aligning with the IETF Connect-Info draft, WayFi Wireless, Alta Labs, and Single Digits are bridging the gap between specification and deployment ensuring that carrier offload decisions are grounded in real, consistent network intelligence.
