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 October 9, 2026, the Wireless Broadband Alliance (WBA) published a report outlining business and technical requirements to deliver more seamless connectivity across Wi-Fi and next-generation cellular networks, as part of its mission to drive seamless and interoperable service experience of Wi-Fi across the global wireless ecosystem. This follows the WBA's argument on October 8 that widespread Wi-Fi availability makes it an ideal candidate for inclusion in future 6G standards, urging the wider telecoms industry to collaborate with mobile networks for ubiquitous coverage. Previously, on October 7, the WBA backed zero-touch IoT onboarding by publishing a report on OpenRoaming for IoT trials, developed with the FIDO Alliance. This report detailed findings from a proof of concept that tested a model combining OpenRoaming Passpoint and FIDO Device Onboard, allowing IoT and edge devices to connect at first power-on, transfer ownership, and receive credentials without manual setup. This project builds on a joint specification from September 28, when the WBA and FIDO Alliance introduced a framework pairing the WBA’s federated OpenRoaming architecture with FIDO Device Onboard protocols to automate IoT onboarding across Wi-Fi networks for industrial operators.
