What WBA OpenRoaming is
OpenRoaming is a roaming federation service enabling an automatic and secure Wi-Fi experience globally. With WBA OpenRoaming, we are creating an open connectivity framework for all organizations in the wireless ecosystem to power new opportunities in the 5G era.
Allow millions of users to connect automatically to your network
Cloud4Wi provides the technology stack to enable enterprise networks to become an access network part of the OpenRoaming federation.
By enabling OpenRoaming on your access network, you can allow millions of users that already have an OpenRoaming-enabled Passpoint identity on their devices to anatomically connect to your network upon arrival.
By adopting this solution you will increase dramatically the number of visitors who will connect to your on-premise WiFi service, delivering smooth, secure and automatic WiFi connectivity.
Cloud4Wi allows you to preserve the advantages of the captive portal in terms of data collection and engagement, overcoming the classic captive portal-related problems (such as MAC randomization, buggy experience in opening the captive portal pop-up and automatic reconnection of returning users). In fact, you can enable OpenRoaming on your network and let all users anatomically connect every time, but still prompt a Splash Page to the users on their first connection to allow collecting data, consents and deliver engagement

Onboard your visitors into WBA OpenRoaming
Cloud4Wi provides you with a comprehensive toolkit to enable your users to connect to third-party networks of the OpenRoaming federation.
All Cloud4Wi Passpoint onboarding solutions (including the OSU Portals and WiFi SDK) allow, upon request, to enable the Passpoint profiles provisioned to the users to connect to certain access networks of the OpenRoaming federation.
Cloud4Wi toolkit demo app, already enables by default the support of OpenRoaming on all Passpoitn profiles provisioned.
OpenRoaming-enabled profiles can also be downloaded from an OSU Portal. At the following link, you can try a public onboarding portal officially provided to the WBA.
