- gonzo 13y agoNo, Hotspot 2.0 (and its underlying standard, 802.11u) are focused on enabling a mobile device to automatically “discover” APs that have a roaming arrangement with the user’s home network and then securely connect. Multiple [E|B]SSIDs (which I co-invented, and patented about 14 years ago) are fundamentally different. Hotspot 2.0 requires client changes, whereas multiple SSID does not.
