The Last Login - How Open Roaming could change Wi-Fi forever | Dobias van Ingen, HPE Networking EMEA CTO & VP C&B

We've spent two decades teaching users how to connect to Wi Fi. Find the SSID. Open a browser. Fill out a form. Accept the terms. Repeat at every new location. But what if Wi Fi worked like mobile networks? What if connectivity simply followed you? In this session, we'll explore OpenRoaming, the technology, the ecosystem, and the challenges. Is this finally the end of captive portals, or are we still years away from frictionless connectivity?
