Cisco has launched what is touted as the industry’s first carrier-grade, end-to-end Wi-Fi infrastructure to deliver next-generation hotspots (NGH).

Cisco, which is now embedding Wireless Broadband Alliance (WBA)-approved NGH technology within its service provider Wi-Fi portfolio, has deployed NGH technology to enable cellular-like roaming for Wi-Fi networks.

The company also announced that it is working with several operators -- including AT&T, BT, PCCW, Portugal Telecom, Shaw Communications, Smart and True -- to deliver services with a new generation of intelligent “small cell” solutions using licensed and unlicensed radio technology.

This will enable mobile users to connect automatically to Wi-Fi hotspots without the need to enter a username or a password.
