Abstract

In an increasingly connected world, Wi-Fi hotspots play an important role in ensuring continuous and reliable internet access for users and devices. Next-Generation Hotspot (NGH) technology has been introduced to decrease the possibility of multiple authentications for users because it uses the network providers to exchange the user authentication and it will be the upgraded version of Hotspot 2.0. NGH addresses the growing challenges of Wi-Fi connectivity, such as network congestion, security vulnerabilities, and complex authentication processes. As the demand for wireless access increases, NGH uses advanced features like Passpoint standards and IEEE 802.1x protocols to offer seamless, one-time authentication across multiple networks. This article provides an overview of NGH, focusing on its ability to enhance user experience by simplifying login procedures and improving security. By investigating the limitations and reasons why this NGH technology is being used, as well as security-related topics that concern the user. It also explains the benefits of NGH, this research highlights its potential to revolutionize wireless communication, offering valuable insights for service providers and the network industry to optimize and innovate future Wi-Fi solutions.
