The Telecom Infra Project (TIP) has adopted the OpenRoaming standard for its OpenWiFi initiative, which launches officially on May 12. OpenRoaming, developed by Cisco and now controlled by WBA, allows seamless Wi-Fi onboarding from location to location without the need for logins or passwords, while OpenWiFi, leverages open-source development and automated testing to allow Wi-Fi service providers to deploy access points, cloud controllers and smart analytics from different vendors.
RCR Wireless News spoke with Tiago Rodrigues, CEO of the Wireless Broadband Alliance and Chris Busch, co-chair of the TIP Open Converged Wireless group, to find out more about what the combination of these two initiatives means for the future of Wi-Fi around the world.
