What is eduroam?

eduroam is the collaboratively delivered, mutually beneficial, federated network access authentication service that provides seamless, secure Wi-Fi connectivity for the education and public sector research community both in the UK and worldwide. By adopting common standards and working cooperatively, research organisations, universities, colleges, hospitals, schools, local authorities, libraries, conference and public meeting space venues and transport providers have contributed to the building of the ubiquitous, high quality, invaluable network service - at minimal cost - that benefits over 600 participating organisations in the UK alone. This translates into literally millions of satisfied individual users.

Underpinned in the UK by the Janet education and research network and federated with NRENs across the world through the European GÉANT network organisation, eduroam is the ubiquitous network service powering access to information across Janet and the internet, communication and collaboration within the UK knowledge economy.

Whilst eduroam, together with our sister service govroam (which serves the government, local authority and public services sector), is a service for the benefit of the public sector, there are opportunities for the business sector too through the commercial provision of services to participants or as a bolt on offering to add value, prestige or a differentiator to a company’s own services.
