Wireless Hotspot 2.0 and Passpoint Management

SSID Hotspot 2.0 configuration in Meraki wireless networks provides administrators with comprehensive IEEE 802.11u-based network discovery and automatic connection management, enabling seamless wireless roaming, carrier-grade wireless services, automatic network selection, and enhanced user mobility experience. This functionality supports service provider deployments, enterprise guest access, public Wi-Fi services, and cellular offload scenarios. Hotspot 2.0 is essential for implementing carrier-grade Wi-Fi services, enabling seamless roaming between Wi-Fi networks, supporting mobile network operator partnerships, and providing automated wireless connectivity for mobile devices across multiple venues and locations.

Examples

Example-1: The example below demonstrates SSID Hotspot 2.0 configuration.

This configuration enables Hotspot 2.0 (Passpoint) functionality for seamless wireless connectivity and automated network selection. The example includes venue information, roaming consortium settings, and authentication parameters for standardized public Wi-Fi access.

The CORP SSID (SSID 0) has Hotspot 2.0 disabled, meaning it does not support seamless, carrier-grade Wi-Fi roaming or automatic network discovery by compatible devices.
