Boingo's New Open Source Toolkit Enables Public Wi-Fi on Handsets and Other Mobile Devices
 

 

Architecture Summary

Boingo Embedded Architecture

At a high level, the Boingo Embedded Architecture consists of three separate components:

  1. Boingo-enabled handsets using the Boingo Embedded Wi-Fi Toolkit
  2. Boingo Roaming Network, an aggregation of hotspots in 60 countries around the globe integrated with Boingo’s AAA systems.
  3. Boingo Configuration Server, a solution for service providers- that controls provisioning and deployment for a given network’s handheld devices

Boingo Embedded Wi-Fi Toolkit

This highly portable, platform-independent middleware component provides the basis by which a device achieves connectivity on Wi-Fi networks. Released under open-source and commercial licenses, the Boingo Embedded Wi-Fi Toolkit provides a device manufacturer with a complete Wi-Fi detection, authentication, and management solution. Features include chipset management, authentication protocols, and support for the latest security mechanisms. A sophisticated profiling system gives the user the ability to access the Boingo Roaming Network, other public access points, as well as private home and corporate networks.

Boingo Configuration Server


The Boingo Configuration Server is used to configure the service provider's provisioning and configuration data to its subscribers’ handset devices.  Through an easy-to-use browser-based interface, this server will communicate all required provisioning data to client devices. Such data includes user credentials, network detection parameters, connection control scripts, and other configuration parameters. The server is designed to be maintained and resident within a service provider’s own production environment. To ensure simple initial provisioning, devices will be initialized at the factory with the identity of the configuration server operated by the appropriate service provider.

Leverage the Growing Boingo Roaming Network

The Boingo Embedded architecture for authenticating handsets works on any type of Wi-Fi network, including private networks as well as any commercial Wi-Fi network. The ever-growing Boingo Roaming Network is ready today to accept handset devices, ensuring service providers of a complete Wi-Fi solution with minimal effort and immediate deployment.
