How TechOps turns venue Wi-Fi into carrier-grade infrastructure that benefits everyone

Data Demands Have Moved Indoors

Industry research shows that about 70 to 80 percent of mobile data is consumed inside buildings where mid-band 5G signals lose much of their strength. Congestion grows fastest in dense venues such as shops, clinics, and cafés where customers expect flawless video, payments, and messaging.

What Cellular Offload Really Means

Cellular offload shifts traffic from licensed spectrum to trusted Wi-Fi. The most seamless way to do this is Passpoint (also called Hotspot 2.0), a Wi-Fi Alliance standard that lets phones authenticate automatically with WPA3-Enterprise security. Devices treat the venue Wi-Fi as an extension of the carrier network, so users never see a captive portal or type a password.

Why Carriers Put Real Dollars Behind Offload

Major operators already fund Passpoint offload agreements, for example, airport deployments that serve millions of passengers every day.

How TechOps Fits Into the Picture

TechOps equips small and mid-size venues with a plug-and-play Wi-Fi 6 access point that broadcasts a carrier-approved Passpoint SSID.
The result is a private Wi-Fi layer that quietly absorbs smartphone traffic, reducing in-store dead zones and improving call quality.

Real-World Proof

• Airport Wi-Fi operators handle millions of Passpoint authentications each day, easing cellular loads at peak travel times.

• Cable MVNOs offload subscribers onto tens of millions of Passpoint hotspots to keep mobile performance high.
  

TechOps brings this partnership model to main-street businesses that were once too small for direct carrier investment.

Future Path: OpenRoaming and Wi-Fi 7

Passpoint profiles carry forward to Wi-Fi 7 access points and integrate with frameworks like OpenRoaming. Venues that deploy TechOps hardware today will already be listed as approved offload locations when carriers expand these services.

Turn Your Venue Into Part of the Carrier Network

Carriers invest in Passpoint offload because it strengthens their service and improves indoor coverage. TechOps makes it simple for independent retailers, clinics, and cafés to join that ecosystem in minutes.
