eduroam offre un'esperienza d'uso wireless unica in tutto il mondo, con il motto “Connettiti - ovunque tu sia”. Consente a studenti, ricercatori e personale di istituti di istruzione superiore di accedere a Internet senza problemi nel proprio campus e durante le visite ad altre università, sia in Svizzera che all'estero. La comodità si estende a numerosi hotspot pubblici in tutto il mondo, tra cui aeroporti, ristoranti e luoghi di eventi.
Quindi, la prossima volta che andrete a trovare i colleghi della Vrije Universiteit di Amsterdam, sarete invitati all'Università di Oxford per una conferenza o passerete davanti alla Københavns Universitet in Danimarca, aspettatevi che eduroam vi dia il benvenuto! Questo sistema rappresenta il massimo della connettività mobile, in quanto è in grado di soddisfare le esigenze di telefoni cellulari, tablet e computer portatili.
eduroam is based on the most secure encryption and authentication standards (WPA2/3-Enterprise, EAP-TLS) in existence today. Its security exceeds typical commercial hotspots by far. eduroam provides end-to-end encryption to ensure that your private user credentials are only visible to your home institution. The certificate of your home server is the only point you need to trust.
Institutions and hotspot providers can choose from a variety of ways to participate - whatever suits their personal situation. Set up your own infrastructure, use a managed Identity Provider service, or outsource the Identity Provider to Switch. Plus, you have the option to leverage the Switch edu-ID to issue eduroam credentials.
eduroam has no limits – eduroam hotspots can be found in over 100 countries. As eduroam grows, more and more hotspots are appearing in additional places such as libraries, museums, and public spaces like airports, railway stations, and coffee shops. In 2023, 7.5 billion authentications worldwide were made via eduroam. And this number is still rising, showing the need for a ‘proper’ wireless solution even in the days of unlimited data bundles and 5G.
