WiFi Network Roaming

HotspotOS supports optimized vendor roaming on enterprise Wi-Fi networks.

WiFi networks with more than one AP will likely include roaming clients.

Clients can be associated with only one AP at a time and roaming from AP to AP must be quick and seamless.

With HotspotOS, WiFi clients can enjoy uninterrupted service as they move between WiFi locations, experiencing the Splash page only during their initial authentication.

We have developed a HotspotOS roaming technology to improve the real-time experience on enterprise networks.

802.11k/r/v

IEEE 802.11k /r/v standard enables fast roaming, minimizes the possibility of incompatibility issues, and lets clients roam more seamlessly from AP to AP within the same network.

802.11k

The 802.11k standard helps devices search quickly for nearby APs available as roaming targets by creating an optimized list of channels. When the signal strength of the current AP weakens, your device will scan for target APs from this list.
The 802.11k reduces roaming time by allowing the client to rapidly determine which AP it should roam to next so when the client is ready to roam, it has a better idea of where to roam.

802.11r

The 802.11r enables faster roaming by allowing encryption keys to be stored on network APs so the client does not need to complete authentication every time it roams to a new AP within the network.

802.11v

The 802.11v allows client devices to exchange information about the network topology, including details about the RF environment, making each client network aware and facilitating the overall improvement of the wireless network.

When you combine 802.11k, 802.11r, and 802.11v’s ability to speed up the search for the best target AP with faster AP association, apps can perform faster and you get a better Wi-Fi experience in your network.
