I've attended a few of the events they've had detailing the setup and seen it in use on a few android devices but not yet on iOS. To overly simplify what is quite a convoluted process.. in the expected use cases (if you're looking at the mobile to wireless handoff component) it requires the support of the mobile telco; you broadcast an SSID that the devices will automatically connect up to using credentials of the mobile account; relayed back to the mobile telco's auth servers via your 802.11u compliant hotspot. In turn you then give the device access or tunnel it back to a handoff point to the telco. - Andrew On Thu, Apr 21, 2016 at 10:14 AM, Mike Everest <mike@duxtel.com> wrote:
Hi All,
Anyone here know much about Hotspot 2.0? It's some kind of wireless authentication scheme that is intended to support wide area handoff between disparate and independent wifi networks that has been billed by some as a "new generation of wifi access technology"
I know that some vendors, like Ruckus in particular, have made a big deal of support for this functionality, and a recent question received by our sales team prompted me to ask MT whether there were any plans to implement Hotspot 2.0 for routerOS.
Who can guess their reply?? :-D
