How Does WBA
OpenRoaming™ Work?
OpenRoaming brings together a federation of networks and
identity providers, allowing users to join any network managed
by a federation member.
Companies who join OpenRoaming provide assurance that their Wi-Fi networks automatically interoperate between each other to deliver an automatic and secure connected Wi-Fi experience.
WBA OpenRoaming enables companies to accelerate and scale Wi-Fi roaming relationships. Enabled networks can automatically onboard users securely leveraging established identity providers such as operators, cloud IDs, loyalty membership, bridging the gap between Wi-Fi and cellular networks.
With OpenRoaming™ WBA is acting as a centralized policy authority enabling an ecosystem for identity providers and Wi-Fi network providers to work together and deliver automatic and secure Wi-Fi experience to millions of users
