OpenRoaming in Hospitality
In today’s hospitality industry, Wi-Fi is no longer a hotel amenity, it’s a deciding factor that defines the guest experience. Studies shows that reliable internet access ranks among the top three reasons guests choose a hotel. But “reliable” now means more than strong signal bars in the guest room. Guests expect connectivity that follows them across the lobby, meeting rooms, restaurants, and even beyond the property – automatically, securely, and without logins.
This is where OpenRoaming™, developed by the Wireless Broadband Alliance (WBA), is redefining what “great guest Wi-Fi” means.
The Growing Presence of OpenRoaming in Japan
Following the successful completion of the 2025 Osaka-Kansai Expo, the event proved to be a powerful catalyst for connectivity innovation across Japan. OpenRoaming played a central role , enabling seamless and secure Wi-Fi access for millions of international visitors and domestic travelers. The “Osaka Free Wi-Fi OpenRoaming” service, deployed across key venues, transportation hubs, and public areas throughout Osaka, demonstrated how large-scale, federated connectivity can enhance user experience and support Japan’s smart city vision.
