UC Joins eduroam, the Global WiFi for Research and Education

The University of Cincinnati Information Technologies has readied the university to join eduroam—a secure, world-wide roaming access wireless network for the international research and education community.

With eduroam, students, faculty and staff can use their UC username and password to access wireless network services at any of the hundreds of eduroam-participating institutions. Likewise, this worldwide hotspot also allows visitors to UC from participating institutions to obtain wireless Internet access using their home institutions’ logon credentials.

"eduroam is a powerful 21st century collaboration tool that will propel innovative research and education at home and abroad,” said Nelson C. Vincent, vice president for information technology and CIO. “Thanks to this new technology, members of the UC community traveling abroad will have instant access to any network in the world that broadcasts eduroam, and our member international colleagues will have seamless Internet access while visiting UC."
