Hotspot 2.0 Settings
Hotspot 2.0 provides automatic network discovery and selection with little or no user intervention. It
facilitates cellular offload and Wi-Fi roaming, without the overhead to sign in to the Wi-Fi network
manually. The handoff is automatic and is transparent to the mobile user using a Wi-Fi Alliance
Passpoint-certified mobile device such as laptop, handheld device, smart phone etc.
Passpoint-certified mobile devices can seamlessly connect to an AirTight AP, if the Wi-Fi profile applied
on the AP has Hotspot 2.0 enabled and the corresponding settings configured in it. After Hotspot 2.0
settings configured Wi-Fi profile is applied on the AirTight AP deployed at the operator location, the AP
can advertise available network services enabling Passpoint-certified mobile devices to automatically
discover and select a Wi-Fi network.
A mobile device can request a Hotspot 2.0 AP for information related to the capabilities and services
provided by the AP, without associating with the AP. Based on the information received from the AP, it
can decide whether it wants to connect to the AP or not. This communication between the AP and the
mobile devices takes place using the Access Network Query Protocol (ANQP).
The Hotspot 2.0 settings for the AP correspond to the ANQP elements sent to a querying mobile device
by the Hotspot 2.0 AP to which the Wi-Fi profile is applied.
IMPORTANT! Hotspot 2.0 works only with WPA2 802.1x enterprise security. If you want to configure
Hotspot 2.0 functionality, you must first set the value in the security mode field (under Security Settings in
the Wi-Fi profile) as WPA2 and ensure that the 802.1x option is selected.
