We had a great time and great discussion with Tiago and Matt and hope that you like it!<br> <br> <br> <br> One hour was definitely not enough time to talk about OpenRoaming, however, in this episode, we talked about the following topics:<br> <br> <br> <br> * OpenRoaming, giving a definition to what it is* Why the WBA decided to take over* Why Cisco decided to hand it over to the WBA* The current momentum behind OpenRoaming when it comes to vendors, manufacturers and identity providers* Components of OpenRoaming* How OpenRoaming will benefit big and small businesses* The role of the brokers<br> <br> <br> <br> We only touched the surface on some of the components of OpenRoaming. We will follow up with other episodes to dive deeper into some the these components.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> As we start to implement in our networks, we will also be able to follow up with episodes talking about how it works technically speaking.<br> <br> <br> <br> Thank you again Tiago and Matt for your time!<br> <br> <br> <br> Resources<br> <br> <br> <br> * Official OpenRoaming website: <a href="http://www.openroaming.org/">http://www.openroaming.org</a>* OpenRoaming FAQ: <a href="https://wballiance.com/openroaming/faq/">https://wballiance.com/openroaming/faq/</a>* Integrate Eduroam with OpenRoaming: <a href="https://wiki.geant.org/display/H2eduroam/Roaming+with+third+parties+based+on+Passpoint">https://wiki.geant.org/display/H2eduroam/Roaming+with+third+parties+based+on+Passpoint</a>* Press release from WBA: <a href="https://wballiance.com/wba-assumes-control-of-openroaming/">https://wballiance.com/wba-assumes-control-of-openroaming/</a>* Press release from WBA:<a href="https://wballiance.com/wba-openroaming-opens-the-door-to-create-one-global-wi-fi-network/">https://wballiance.com/wba-openroaming-opens-the-door-to-create-one-global-wi-fi-network/</a>* Use Case OpenRoaming: <a href="https://newsroom.cisco.com/press-release-content?type=webcontent&articleId=2085155">https://newsroom.cisco.com/press-release-content?type=webcontent&articleId=2085155</a>* Use Case OpenRoaming<a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-britain-wifi/londons-canary-wharf-pioneers-seamless-wi-fi-roaming-idUSKBN2425D1">https://www.reuters.com/article/us-britain-wifi/londons-canary-wharf-pioneers-seamless-wi-fi-roaming-idUSKBN2425D1</a>* Previous episode on OpenRoaming with Jérôme Henry: <a href="https://www.cleartosend.net/cisco-openroaming/">https://www.cleartosend.net/cisco-openroaming/</a>* Previous episode on the WBA with Tiago Rodrigues and Gabriel Desjardins: <a href="https://www.cleartosend.net/cts-219-wireless-broadband-alliance-with-tiago-rodrigues-and-gabriel-desjardins/">https://www.cleartosend.net/cts-219-wireless-broadband-alliance-with-tiago-rodrigues-and-gabriel-desjardins/</a>* Presentation: Understanding OpenRoaming and the Device Ecosystem Project – Jérôme Henry: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJxOChcOmyI&t=314s">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJxOChcOmyI&t=314s</a>* Presentation: Cisco OpenRoaming to Better Bridge Between Mobile and Wi Fi Networks – Matt MacPherson: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rW5I6csmF1o">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rW5I6csmF1o</a><br>
