The Wireless Broadband Alliance (WBA) announced the publication of the OpenRoaming® For IoT Trials Report, which was developed in collaboration with the FIDO Alliance. The report outlines how a standards-based approach can address challenges in large IoT deployments for manufacturers and enterprises. Key findings from the trials showed that zero-touch IoT onboarding is technically feasible, utilizing a factory-based credentials mechanism to enable secure connectivity at first power-on.
