ADVISORY: C&C announces EDUROAM service – “roaming wireless”
Computing and Communications is pleased to
announce that Memorial has joined the world-wide Eduroam network
which consists of institutions throughout 36 European countries, 6
Asia-Pacific countries, the United States, and Canada. In Canada,
Eduroam is operated by the Canadian Access
Federation with 23 universities
participating.
Now, Memorial students, staff and faculty travelling abroad can
have their laptops and other wireless devices configured locally before they
leave so that wireless access on any other eduroam”
affiliated campus they may visit will be automatic
and require no
extra configuration. In addition, visiting faculty and staff from
participating institutions will also be able to access their home
networks without
having to set up local "guest" accounts.
Set it up once at your home institution, and it will work at any other eduroam affiliated institution in the world! Free of Charge!
