eduroam (education roaming)

eduroam is a secure wireless network hosted by an international group of research and educational institutions for the purpose of providing students, faculty, staff and researchers with Internet connectivity when visiting participating institutions.

The network provides visitors from other universities with the ability to access a secure wireless network using their own institution's login credentials rather than having to obtain a local network ID and password.
