WBA OpenRoaming Enables First Theatre Deployment of OpenRoaming Seamless & Secure Public Wi-Fi in Brazil

The Wireless Broadband Alliance announced that systems integrator TecExpert Brasil has introduced OpenRoaming™ Wi-Fi hotspots at Teatro Gazeta in the heart of São Paulo’s cultural district. Ranked as one of the city’s top theaters, Teatro Gazeta is the latest example of how OR is gaining traction in the country. The deployment comprises eight Cambium XV and XE-Series including three of which are Wi-Fi 6E enabled for faster speed interactive experiences.

Currently available at over 3 million hotspots worldwide, including São Paulo airport, WBA OpenRoaming frees users from the need to constantly re-register or re-enter log-in credentials — all while maintaining enterprise-grade security and privacy. The WBA OpenRoaming standard also enables enterprises, device OEMs, service providers and others to provide performance guarantees and — with Wi-Fi 6 and 6E — a carrier-grade experience as users roam between different public/private Wi-Fi realms.

Teatro Gazeta features an expansive lobby with sofas and other features for patrons to relax before and after shows. OpenRoaming, provided free of charge with ads, is ideal for this kind of environment because it makes it easy for patrons to quickly and securely upload photos and videos to share their Teatro Gazeta experiences on social media.

Teatro Gazeta is known for its state-of-the-art sound and lighting systems. OpenRoaming compliments this technological reputation by making innovative Wi-Fi services available to patrons.

TecExpert also provided OpenRoaming at Futurecom, Latin America’s largest technology event, held Oct. 3-5 at São Paulo Expo. The OpenRoaming hotspot was part of TecExpert’s support for the Brazilian Association of Internet of Things, whose ABINC booth included the Almaroma Inclusive café. This venue showcased the Almaroma inclusion project, which promotes social inclusion and diversity in the job market.

TecExpert Brasil specializes in wireless solutions for enterprises and mission-critical applications. The firm provided the first Wi-Fi 6E demo in Brasil and is a member of WBA and Telecom Infra Project.
