In-Home Wi-Fi Multi-AP Solutions Trial Report
In-Home Wi-Fi is becoming an essential proposition to meet the high expectations of customers – namely, that Wi-Fi will be easy to set up and operate even if they have no knowledge or understanding of the technology.
With more wirelessly-connected devices in use than ever before, home network security has become increasingly important. Homeowners need to make sure their home Wi-Fi network’s security is up to the required standard in reasonable speed and coverage to ensure the smoothness and productivity for work-from-home and online education. In addition, with the advent of widespread video streaming and video conferencing, the demand for bandwidth within the home has increased significantly which required multi-access point. However, multi-AP systems are quite different in this respect from simply plugging in a single AP and using default configuration. So, how we can make it easier for the customers and keep them happy?
To help operators and other providers of in-home Wi-Fi understand the advantages and differences of multi-AP systems, this In-Home Wi-Fi Multi-AP Solutions Trial Final Report provides testing and analysis of all the Multi-AP features and capabilities and defines a set of performance metrics and subsequent test plans which have been collected from live use cases conducted in a real operating environment.
WBA’s In-Home Wi-Fi Program has launched an expanded version of its previously-released In-Home Wi-Fi Industry Guidelines, providing a clear guide on the best practices and standards to create the ultimate in-home Wi-Fi experience for consumers. It provides a comprehensive analysis on in-home Wi-Fi multi-AP solutions, trials and use cases.

IMSI Privacy Protection for Wi-Fi
EAP methods are primarily used by wireless carriers and operators who want to take advantage of Wi-Fi capabilities for their SIM subscribers for use cases including licensed mobile radio service; in service-environments such as sports or shopping venues; underground locations; and the overall experience for end-users when Wi-Fi and mobile services are combined for the SIM subscriber’s benefit. Passpoint enables the cellular carrier to offload data by providing a means to have an automated connection to available Wi-Fi providers.
To fill the industry gap, it is important to provide solutions that enable mobile devices to keep their permanent subscriber identity (IMSI) private when using SIM authentication methods.
WBA’s IMSI Privacy Protection for Wi-Fi – Technical Specification document serves as the standardization for seamless, private and secure access for SIM-based devices onto to Wi-Fi. The document provides clear guidelines to ensure that service providers can deploy secure and interoperable Wi-Fi services with confidence.
With the joint collaboration between operators and vendors, the WBA’s Wi-Fi IMSI Privacy Protection project team formulated the best practice on security policy and privacy protection on SIM-based devices as well as developed guidelines and a compliance program to guarantee broad industry deployments and alignment
