Abstract
Automated provisioning and/or authentication of a device to a wireless access point is contemplated. The automated provisioning may be performed in a manner that enables the device to receive provisioning instructions in accordance with HotSpot 2.0, Passpoint or other Wi-Fi related protocols and standards without having to input identification or other user-specific information like a username and password combination. The authentication may be performed in a manner sufficient to enable service-level differentiation for the provisioned devices and/or other devices desiring wireless access, such as but not necessary limited to facilitating assigning different bandwidth speed/priorities according to a service agreement.
