The use of Wi-Fi across cities and the public sector has grown in popularity since the early noughties/2000’s, reinforced with the recent COVID19 Pandemic. From outdoor public spaces, to indoor municipal use in areas such as libraries and public spaces in offices and education, society’s increasing reliance on staying connected at all times and wanting constant access to information on the move demands a great customer experience. That is without mentioning smart city enablement!
WBA has created a roaming federation service called OpenRoaming™ which addresses these issues by providing all the building blocks necessary to enable a Smart City for public Wi-Fi and other public services. Citizens are able to stay connected in virtually any location across the city while not having to worry about potential security risks, ensuring cities and public spaces are more friendly to businesses, visitors and residents alike, enabling a city of innovation.
