What if students, educators and researchers could access the same fast and secure network in hundreds of locations – without having to log in each time?
That’s the power of eduroam, a global wireless network service used by more than 900 colleges, universities, and research facilities in the U.S. By implementing eduroam across Arizona’s institutions, Sun Corridor Network is enhancing wireless internet access for local and visiting students, faculty, and researchers throughout the state.
Leveraging institutional collaboration
Eduroam allows users to access the internet without having to rely on guest wifi, log in through insecure web pages or share their passwords with anyone outside of their home institution. Instead, credentials are provided automatically by the user’s home university, school or library, offering fast and secure internet access.
The seamless integration of eduroam within Sun Corridor Network’s service areas ensures that students and educators can maintain a reliable connection while traveling to different institutions. For instance, an Arizona State University student can visit the University of Arizona and automatically connect to eduroam. This ensures consistency and mobility across thousands of public institutions worldwide.
Fostering belonging across locations
Internet access shouldn’t be a barrier when collaborating with colleagues or peers. By providing a consistent and reliable internet connection, Sun Corridor Network helps students and researchers connect and collaborate across different campuses, creating a sense of belonging.
Whether a local student or international visitor, eduroam brings people together to accomplish their work, facilitating a larger community where institutions can innovate and ideate together.
