# One Global OpenRoaming Network

Roam is building a decentralized WiFi OpenRoaming network that delivers automatic connections from millions of locations worldwide. To connect, users don’t have to create an account with an internet provider or give out any login or personal information. All they need is a[ decentralized ID (DID)](https://metablox.io/learn/decentralized-authentication-explain-did/), which can be generated for free on the Roam app. Users can simply open the app when they come within range of a compatible router for the first time and tap through the landing page.

After this initial connection, users will automatically connect / reconnect via any in-range router, without needing to open the app again. This seamless connection process enables WiFi roaming, where connections are continuously maintained for users as they travel across local access points.

The global OpenRoaming network includes millions of access points from both the Wireless Broadband Alliance (WBA) and Roam's routers. Users can enjoy automatic access to free WiFi at 3 million+ OpenRoaming WiFi access points.

Roam and the WBA’s WiFi OpenRoaming network will be accessible at various locations such as:

* Businesses: cafes, retailers, restaurants, hotels...
* Public spaces: libraries, airports, train stations, government buildings ...
* Large Venues: conference centers, sports arenas, theaters, etc.

Host locations are incentivized to integrate a Roam miner into their WiFi access points. There is no requirement for hosts to switch or terminate their existing internet subscriptions. Users at these locations will seamlessly access the OpenRoaming network, while miner owners will receive rewards generated by Roam miners as they facilitate WiFi connections.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://we-roam.gitbook.io/metablox-learn/roam-network/one-global-openroaming-network.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
