"Mobile operators are currently deploying fifth-generation networks (5G) which will underpin the ultra-connected world and Internet of Things."
Federated Wi-Fi
The Federated Wi-Fi specification sets out a harmonized authentication framework for public Wi-Fi. Its aim is to describe how Wi-Fi can be architected so that it can deliver a seamless, safe and secure connectivity experience for customers.
Adding public connectivity to existing and new Wi-Fi deployments brings the opportunity to improve connection reliability and connection speeds for customers inside buildings.
The Federated Wi-Fi specification has been drafted by the FedWiFi forum. This is a new technical forum, with inputs taken from experts across all the UK mobile operators and a selection of neutral host providers. This first version of the specification has been published to give it wider visibility to industry stakeholders.
