A municipal tourism board wants visitors’ phones to join partner hotspots automatically with stronger onboarding than a shared PSK poster. Which approach best matches that goal?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Passpoint is the ‘tap your transit card once’ model for public Wi-Fi: the phone already holds a trusted profile and can join participating hotspots without hunting for a PSK on a poster. Shared WEP or open air is the opposite of secure automatic onboarding.
Full Explanation
Wi-Fi Certified Passpoint and Open Roaming streamline secure public access by using provider-provisioned credentials/profiles so clients can authenticate across participating hotspots without manual PSK distribution. Deprecated WEP, plaintext open SSIDs, and per-kiosk static personal passphrases do not deliver federated, automatic secure onboarding for municipal visitor Wi-Fi.
