HotspotOS supports optimized vendor roaming on enterprise Wi-Fi networks.
WiFi networks that consist of 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.
WiFi clients will get continuous service when moving between the WiFi locations and they will get the Splash page only on the first authentication.
We have developed an HotspotOS roaming technology to improve the real-time experience on enterprise networks.
802.11k /r/v
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 that are 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 perform the complete authentication process 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 information about the RF environment, making each client network aware, 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.
