eduroam
eduroam stands for Education Roaming. It is a location independent wireless network and RADIUS-based infrastructure that uses 802.1X security technology to allow mobility between participants’ wireless infrastructure with seamless user authentication and the enforcement of local security policy.
It allows our staff and students to log on the Wireless LAN at another institution, who is also an eduroam participant, using the same credentials (username and password) which the user would use at the home institution.
