RE: Eduroam wireless access while visiting other universities, and for visitors to UofT
Information + Technology Services is pleased to announce a new service that will be of value to members of the U of T community as they visit other universities or host visitors from other institutions.
Eduroam will permit faculty, students and staff to use their UTORid credentials to securely access the wireless networks at participating universities in Canada, Europe and Asia (US expected to follow soon.) It also permits visitors from participating institutions to connect to U of T's wireless network using their home institution credentials, eliminating the need for securing a temporary UTORid for wireless access.
The service is active now. Information and procedures are published at:
http://eduroam.utoronto.ca
To use Eduroam, University of Toronto users need to complete a one-time setup and test their portable devices on one of our campuses before travel. For technical assistance, please contact your help desk.
Visitors to U of T from Eduroam-enabled institutions must make similar arrangements to configure and test before leaving their home institutions.
Not all institutions are Eduroam-enabled. Please visit the following website for setup details, coverage maps, FAQ, and other information:
