World Mobile is an official member of the Wi-Fi Alliance, the global body that guides Wi-Fi standards, testing, and certification.[1] Membership opens access to Wi-Fi CERTIFIED programs, technical resources, and collaboration with leading operators and device makers. This strengthens World Mobile’s network and makes partnerships easier globally.

What is the Wi-Fi Alliance?
The Wi-Fi Alliance sets how Wi-Fi works across devices and networks. It owns the Wi-Fi trademark and runs the Wi-Fi CERTIFIED program so certified products interoperate securely and reliably. Members get access to certification, technical specs and test plans, and working groups that help shape future features.
The game-changer: Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Passpoint
Passpoint[2] brings automatic, secure roaming across participating Wi-Fi networks. It removes captive portals and manual logins by using standardized profiles so devices authenticate seamlessly. For operators, it enables policy-based offload[3] to Wi-Fi and keeps enterprise-grade security.
What this means for World Mobile
Membership lets World Mobile certify AirNodes and services under Wi-Fi CERTIFIED programs, align with recognized standards, and work directly with partners that expect certified interoperability. With Passpoint, third-party devices can roam and offload onto AirNodes where partner policies allow, growing usage while keeping access simple and secure.
What this enables
- Password-free, portal-free access for eligible devices and partners.
- Policy-based offload from mobile networks to Wi-Fi when it makes sense.
- Faster integrations through shared certification and common test plans.
- Stronger device trust and simpler operations.
- Wider reach and lower costs as roaming and offload scale.
- More traffic through AirNodes and across the World Mobile network, which increases revenue flowing into the ecosystem and the sharing economy.
How Passpoint roaming could work with AirNodes
- A device installs a profile from a participating provider or partner app.
- When the device detects an AirNode that matches policy, it connects automatically with secure authentication.
- Traffic is handled under operator policy, allowing offload or roaming without user steps.
