Wireless Broadband Alliance is a privately owned entity based in Singapore. Founded in 2003, it operates with approximately 40 employees, focusing on telecoms. The company undertakes programs and activities to address business and technical issues, as well as opportunities, for member companies. Its work areas include standards development, industry guidelines, trials, certification, and advocacy.
On September 28, 2026, the Wireless Broadband Alliance (WBA) and FIDO Alliance tested a joint specification for zero-touch IoT Wi-Fi onboarding, enabling industrial operators to automate IoT onboarding across Wi-Fi networks. The framework combines WBA’s federated OpenRoaming architecture with FIDO Device Onboard protocols, which significantly reduces the manual configuration of individual MAC addresses, Wi-Fi protected access keys, and administrative credentials across factory floors. This follows the September 25, 2026, announcement that the WBA published its OpenRoaming for IoT Trials Report, developed in collaboration with the FIDO Alliance. The report addresses the need to securely bring hundreds or thousands of IoT and edge devices online without significant manual intervention, especially across multiple locations, networks, and administrative domains.
