Wi-Fi Roaming Standard – WRIX Umbrella Document
WBA defines roaming set-up best practices for service providers and outlines the reasons for providing roaming services as well as suitable strategies to adopt. Standards are provided for the type of information needed from the Wi-Fi network, together with guidelines on how to exchange relevant information between involved parties. Moreover, WBA maintains a database of Operators roaming related data, including the WBAID that is solely provided and maintained by the WBA.
This WRIX Umbrella document is an integral part of the whole Wireless Roaming Intermediary eXchange (WRIX) Framework, developed by the WBA Roaming Work Group. This document defines the means by which operators may interconnect with each other, either directly or through their respective WRIX-is, for the purposes of providing wireless broadband roaming services to their end-users. It also provided a guidance for best practices of Wi-Fi Roaming and overview of WRIX interfaces and entities.
Wi-Fi Device Identification – A Way Through MAC Randomization
Until now, many Wi-Fi networks have relied on the original permanence of device MAC addresses to facilitate access to or management of the network.
Without a new way to identify devices on Wi-Fi networks, the networks will cease to be as manageable and/or as functional as they were. This will have customer experience impacts as well as financial ones.

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.
