• Automatic Network Selection

  • Devices equipped with Passpoint can automatically discover and connect to available Wi-Fi networks that meet specific security and performance criteria. This eliminates the need for users to manually search for and join a network.

• Seamless Roaming

  •  Passpoint supports seamless roaming between networks, allowing users to move from one hotspot to another (e.g., from a coffee shop to an airport) without having to log in again.

• Enhanced Security

  • Passpoint requires the use of WPA2-Enterprise (and more recently WPA3) security, which provides better encryption and authentication compared to open networks. It uses Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) for authentication, enhancing security for users.

• Authentication via SIM, Certificates, or Username/Password (support all)

  • Passpoint supports multiple methods of authentication, including:

• • • SIM-based authentication(for cellular subscribers), - Not
