ITS has introduced a new WiFi SSID, “HKU-IoT,” designed specifically for connecting WiFi devices that do not support 802.1x login and only support Pre-shared Key (PSK) authentication. The service is currently available to staff and departments.
Benefits of HKU-IoT:
- Provides WiFi connectivity for devices that do not support 802.1x authentication.
- Enables WiFi devices to connect to the HKU campus network, rather than directly to the internet (Wi-Fi.HK via HKU).
- Allows users to set individual WiFi password (PSK) for each device to enhance security.
Examples of devices that can benefit from the HKU-IoT network include:
- Smart Home Devices: smart TVs, smart speakers, smart doorbells, smart locks, etc.
- Certain printers and copiers
- IoT devices
Please note devices connected to this SSID cannot access servers within the ITS host segment as a security measure.
Please be reminded that registered MAC addresses will be removed automatically after the expiration date. Users will receive email reminders for renewal before the expiration date.
