802.11u Hotspots
Hotspot 2.0 R2 is a Wi-Fi Alliance Passpoint specification based upon the 802.11u protocol that provides
wireless clients with a streamlined mechanism to discover and authenticate to suitable networks, and allows
mobile users the ability to roam between partner networks without additional authentication.
AOS-W incorporates Passpoint technology from the Wi-Fi Alliance Hotspot 2.0 R2 Specification to simplify and
automate access to public Wi-Fi networks. Follow the procedures in this chapter to help mobile devices identify
which access points in your hotspot network are suitable for their needs, and authenticate to a remote service
provider using suitable credentials.
For an overview of Hotspot enhanced network discovery and selection technology, and a description of each of the
hotspot profile types, see Hotspot 2.0 Overview on page 892
Hotspot Profile Configuration Tasks
The following sections describe the procedure to configure the profiles for the hotspot feature.

Hotspot 2.0 Overview
AOS-W supports Hotspot 2.0 with enhanced network discovery and selection. Clients can receive general
information about the network identity, venue and type via management frames from the Alcatel-Lucent AP.
Clients can also query APs for information about the network’s available IP address type (IPv4 or IPv6),
roaming partners, and supported authentication methods, and receive that information in Information
Elements from the AP.
AOS-W Hotspot Support for GAS Queries
An Organization Identifier (OI) is a unique identifier assigned to a service provider when it registers with the
IEEE registration authority. An Alcatel-Lucent AP can include its service provider OI in beacons and probe
