Creating a Wi-Fi Operator Profile

A Wi-Fi operator is the owner of a set of Hotspot 2.0 enabled APs. Use a Wi-Fi Operator profile, which defines all the properties pertaining to an operator, to connect Wi-Fi-capable devices to a Hotspot 2.0 Access network.

Complete the following steps to create a Wi-Fi Operator profile:

  1. From the navigation bar, select Network Control > Policies & Profiles.
  2. In the Policies & Profiles page, click the Wi-Fi Operator tile and click Add Wi-Fi Operator. Alternatively, in the Policies & Profiles page, click Add Policy or Profile, select the Wi-Fi Operator tile, and click Next.
  3. In the Add Wi-Fi Operator page, enter the profile name.

  4. For Domain, enter a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) (for example, mydomain.com).
    The Hotspot 2.0 AP broadcasts the domain name to indicate the home Wi-Fi providers. You can enter up to five domain names.
  5. For Operator Friendly Name, select the language and enter the Wi-Fi operator name. You can add the Wi-Fi operator names in multiple languages by clicking Add another name.

    The operator's friendly name is displayed on the mobile client's screen. It is also used for operator verification during secure onboarding.

  6. Click Add.
    You can see the Wi-Fi operator profile in the Wi-Fi Operator table. Up to 16 Wi-Fi operator profiles can be created.
