THE INDUSTRY CHALLENGE

OpenRoaming scales authentication.
Settlement hasn't kept up.

Passpoint and OpenRoaming solved identity federation. Neutral host solved deployment. Wi-Fi offload solved capacity. But the commercial model is still stuck in the bilateral era — manual reconciliation, fragmented clearing, and integration overhead that doesn't scale past a handful of partners.

The industry now has federation. What it needs is a marketplace.

Bilateral Doesn't Scale

Every new roaming partner means another contract, another integration, another reconciliation workflow. N-squared complexity that caps your addressable market.

Settlement Is Manual

RADIUS accounting gaps, spreadsheet reconciliation, billing disputes that take weeks. No standardized clearing layer between ANPs and IDPs.

Aggregation Limits Pricing

Current aggregation models have become the bottleneck. No dynamic pricing, no new coverage discovery or demand onboarding, no real marketplace mechanics.

INTRODUCING UPLINK

One agreement. Access Networks.
Automated settlement.

Uplink is building the neutral settlement exchange for Wi-Fi offload and the commercial layer for Wi-Fi offloading and roaming across wireless networks. Carriers and venue operators integrate once — with no bilateral negotiations and no reconciliation backlog.

Every session is authenticated, priced dynamically, and settled automatically. Built entirely on existing industry standards — Passpoint, Hotspot 2.0, and RADIUS — with no new hardware or architectural changes required.

One Agreement

Integrate once and one agreement replaces every bilateral deal. Go from signed agreement to live traffic faster.

Automated Settlement

Sessions reconciled automatically. WRIX-compatible automated settlement. No clearing backlog, no manual disputes.

Marketplace Discovery

Dynamic rate discovery across different locations. Connect supply and demand with identity, policy, and settlement built in.

From integration to live traffic in days, not months.

01

Connect

Integrate your network with Uplink, or your identity and policy with Uplink. We handle Passpoint profile configuration, RADIUS proxy setup, and identity federation. No hardware changes.

02

Discover

Access the full marketplace of connectivity supply and demand. Dynamic pricing, real-time footprint visibility, and automated partner matching — all without bilateral negotiations.

03

Settle

Every session is metered, reconciled, and settled automatically. Automated and auditable settlement with full finality. Each party settles with Uplink — never directly with counterparties.

Whether you supply connectivity or consume it, Uplink is your settlement rail.

Supply Side

Venue operators, neutral hosts, managed Wi-Fi providers, Wi-Fi aggregators

  • Transform idle Wi-Fi infrastructure into a monetized asset with near-zero operational overhead
  • Access the full marketplace of carrier demand without individual bilateral deals
  • Dynamic pricing — set rates by corridor, time-of-day, or QoS tier
  • Automated RADIUS accounting reconciliation eliminates manual settlement
  • Go from signed agreement to live offload traffic in days
Demand Side

MNOs, MVNOs, eSIM providers, apps, and enterprises issuing credentials

  • Reduce cellular CAPEX by offloading indoor traffic to verified Wi-Fi networks
  • Access capacity below current wholesale benchmarks through marketplace dynamics
  • Improve indoor coverage without deploying small cells
  • Single integration gives you global Wi-Fi offload reach across all marketplace ANPs
  • Transparent, auditable settlement with no reconciliation disputes
Ecosystem

The clearinghouse the Wi-Fi industry has been waiting for.

The model that made cellular roaming hubs indispensable — rebuilt natively for Wi-Fi, on standards already in place. Uplink accelerates federation by adding the marketplace and settlement layer the industry has been missing.

From bilateral agreements to a multi-sided marketplace.

Earlier marketplace initiatives demonstrated the need for automation, but the ecosystem was not yet ready. With OpenRoaming, large-scale Wi-Fi aggregation, and automated settlement, the conditions now exist for a true connectivity marketplace.
