Kindly please some one can explain in smiple word with good exmaple what is the purpose of 802.11u protocols. i check few IEEE doc but my head is now all over the place and i dont not understand what this technology do and how we can get benefit of it.
Think of 802.11u this way. You can connect to a wifi hotspot from multiple providers without having the need to log in each time. Assume you have att and you connect to a Verizon hotspot at a stadium. You wouldn't need to use your logon. Verizon would talk to att and validate you as a user. It's also called hotspot 2.0 and wifi pass point.

802.11u, which specifies how Wi-Fi access networks interface with carrier mobile WANs. The amendment was approved for publication in February, so it's possible that infrastructure and device-makers alike will begin incorporating it into their products going forward.

I wanted to thank you, I find your inputs very informative and helpful.
One of our cellular operators is thinking about deploying HOT SPOT 2.0. in the network.
It would be very helpful to review a WireShark PCAP file with Beacon signal from the AP, Network Discovery and selection(ANQP) and EPA_SIM authentication.
Can you please share one reference?
Many Thanks
Omer
