Network World - The most widely anticipated but least understood "next big thing" in the networked world is Hotspot 2.0 (HS 2.0).

A multi-industry initiative or framework for automating many of today's manual Wi-Fi tasks, HS 2.0 is being driven by the Wi-Fi Alliance (for certification under the Passpoint program) and organizations such as the Wireless Broadband Alliance (for interoperability). The shared vision for HS 2.0 is compelling: turn the Wi-Fi user experience into one that mirrors the cellular phone by establishing a Wi-Fi connection experience that is secure, automated and conforms to user/operator policy.

Hotspot 2.0 at CES 2013: Exploring a “Totally Disruptive Communication Technology”

JANUARY 11TH in BOINGO, FEATURED, TECHNOLOGY by KATIE


A show of hands at the start of the “Hotspot 2.0: How Passpoint Will Change Wireless Communications” panel at CES 2013 revealed that the majority of attendees were not familiar with what moderator Stewart Wolpin called a potentially “totally disruptive communication technology.”

On Day 2 of CES 2013, Boingo’s Chief Scientist Niels Jonker and his fellow panelists from the Wireless Broadband Alliance (WBA), Wi-Fi Alliance (WFA) and HP Labs introduced the crowd to the mobile roaming standards – including Hotspot 2.0, Next Generation Hotspot and Passpoint – that have the potential to deliver “more data, for less money, faster,” and create a user experience that’s as easy and seamless as cellular.
