Q: What is Hotspot 2.0 and how does it improve carrier public Wi-Fi services?
A: Hotspot 2.0 (Passpoint) enables automatic and secure Wi-Fi authentication using standardized protocols such as IEEE 802.11u and WPA2-Enterprise. It allows users to connect seamlessly without repeatedly entering usernames or passwords, while supporting secure roaming between different public Wi-Fi networks. For carriers, it enhances user experience, enables Wi-Fi offload for 4G/5G networks, and creates new opportunities for value-added services.
Q: How can carriers efficiently manage large-scale public Wi-Fi networks?
A: H3C Carrier Public Wi-Fi Solution adopts a centralized AC pool architecture with unified management through AD-Campus. Thousands of APs can be centrally configured, monitored, and maintained from a single platform. N+M redundancy ensures service continuity, while intelligent resource scheduling improves controller utilization and simplifies large-scale network operations.
Q: How does H3C secure carrier-grade public Wi-Fi networks against cyber threats?
A: H3C combines AI-driven security awareness with layered protection to safeguard public Wi-Fi services. H3C iSOC continuously detects potential threats and works with AD-Campus to automate policy enforcement and threat mitigation. Together with wireless security and network protection capabilities, the solution helps carriers build secure, reliable, and resilient public Wi-Fi infrastructure.
