Tech bigwigs drive new global Wi-Fi roaming initiative

The Wireless Broadband Alliance trying make Wi-Fi roaming as easy as cellular roaming with the acceptance of Cisco Systems’ OpenRoaming technology. WBA is inviting organizations in the Wi-Fi ecosystem to join the WBA OpenRoaming program and become part of a globally available Wi-Fi federation that offers automatic and secure connection to millions of Wi-Fi networks. The idea is to create a world where Wi-Fi users move from one network to another without needing to constantly re-register or sign in.
