Hostspot 2.0 (HS 2.0) is a new standard for Public access WiFi that enables seemless roaming between WiFi networks and among WiFi and cellular networks. Hs 2.0 was developed by WiFi alliance and Wireless broadband association to enable seemless handoff of traffic without requiring additional user sign on and authentication.
The HS 2.0 specification is based on set of protocols called 802.11u, which facilitates cellular like roaming, increased bandwidth, and service on demand for wireless equipped devices in general. When a subscribers 802.11u capable device is in range of at least one wifi network, the device automatically selects the network and connects to it. Network discovery, registration, provisioning and access process are automated so that the user does not have to go through them manually inorder to have them stay connected.
