Meraki Now Supports Smart Client Roaming

To support the needs of some of our large service provider customers, Meraki now supports the Wi-Fi Alliance WISPr protocol.

What this means is that wireless users who subscribe to a multi-provider service like Boingo can roam across different service provider networks like AT&T, T-Mobile, and Telmex and authenticate seamlessly via RADIUS without the need to interact with a captive portal. 

This is similar to how cellphone users are allowed to roam across different networks, and is also known as Smart Client roaming; For example, one of our larger service provider customers can now allow users to roam across networks covering hundreds of Starbucks cafes and restaurants like Burger King; This allows service providers to offer convenient, hassle-free wireless access wherever their customers need it with minimum hassle as an added value service to their subscribers;

This is a great example of how Meraki networks can be used by service providers to expand their businesses and improve service levels to their own customers.
