2. Passpoint
Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Passpoint® is an industry-wide solution to streamline network access in Wi-Fi hotspots and eliminate the need for users to find and authenticate a network each time they connect. In Wi-Fi networks that do not support Passpoint®, users must search for and choose a network, request the connection to the access point (AP), and re-enter authentication credentials each visit to gain access to a hotspot location, such as a restaurant, stadium, airport, or hotel. Passpoint automates the entire process, enabling a seamless connection between Wi-Fi hotspot networks and mobile devices, all while delivering enterprise-level security.
