OpenRoaming
Equipment that supports OpenRoaming
A guest signs in once with an e-mail address, and from then on the phone reconnects by itself at every one of your venues, with no login page. That works only on hardware that speaks Passpoint.
Below is the equipment oneCDP OpenRoaming runs on. If yours is not listed, it is usually still possible.

Requirements
What the hardware has to do
The access point or the controller must support Passpoint, also called Hotspot 2.0, which is the IEEE 802.11u standard. Without it OpenRoaming cannot work at all.
Passpoint alone is not enough. A working OpenRoaming setup also needs:
RCOI and ANQP configured on the access points
a connection to AAA and to the OpenRoaming federation over RADIUS or RadSec, which is the part oneCDP takes on
depending on the architecture, a controller or an external OpenRoaming connector acting as a proxy
How to read the list
Three statuses, and they mean different things
Running with oneCDP
Equipment already carrying OpenRoaming for our clients. Configuration is known and takes no research.
WBA certified
Models and controllers the Wireless Broadband Alliance has put through its certification programme: an end to end OpenRoaming test together with Android, iOS and Windows devices.
Passpoint
The hardware supports Passpoint and OpenRoaming can be built on it, but it has not been through the full WBA certification. We check the configuration for your project separately.
The equipment list
Updated October 2026Showing 34 of 34
For certified models the controller column gives the versions WBA ran the tests on. OpenRoaming will most likely work on other versions too, but that is the combination that was verified.
Certification data comes from the WBA OpenRoaming Compliance programme; the list was shared with us by the Wireless Broadband Alliance in October 2026. WBA OpenRoaming certified partners · Wi-Fi Alliance Product Finder
Client devices
What has been tested on the guest side
Besides phones and laptops on Android, iOS and Windows, the WBA programme also tested the Zebra TC78 data capture terminal with every identity provider.
Your equipment is not on the list?
Send us the model of your access points and controller. We will check compatibility and tell you what has to be configured for OpenRoaming.
Why it is worth it
What OpenRoaming gives the venue
No new routers
OpenRoaming is switched on over the access points you already have, provided they support Passpoint. Sometimes a controller firmware update is all it takes.
Visits keep being recorded
Guest data keeps arriving with their consent, so analytics, segments and campaigns carry on working without a login page in the way.
Guests come back more often
The phone connects by itself. Nobody is asked for anything a second time, and the friction that loses returning guests disappears.
Questions about compatibility
My equipment is not on the list. Can I still use OpenRoaming?
Most likely yes, if the hardware supports Passpoint. You can check that in the Wi-Fi Alliance Product Finder with the Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Passpoint filter. MikroTik and Ubiquiti, for example, never took part in WBA certification, yet OpenRoaming has been running on both for a long time.
How is WBA certification different from a Passpoint certificate?
A Wi-Fi Alliance Passpoint certificate confirms that an access point can do Hotspot 2.0, which is the base function. WBA OpenRoaming certification checks the whole chain: the access point, the controller or cloud, the connection to the federation and the behaviour with real phones and laptops.
Do I have to buy new equipment?
As a rule, no. OpenRoaming is enabled on existing access points when they support Passpoint. Often it is enough to update the controller firmware to a version that includes Hotspot 2.0.
Where is the guest data stored?
In the EU. Authentication runs through the OpenRoaming federation, while the guest profile, the consent and the visit history stay on EU infrastructure under GDPR, the same as for a regular Wi-Fi login.
