What is eduroam?


eduroam (education roaming) is the secure, easy-to-use, worldwide WiFi roaming access service developed for the international research and education community. It allows students, researchers and staff from participating institutions to obtain Internet connectivity across campus and when visiting other participating institutions by simply opening their laptops.

eduroam is a global service spanning more than a hundred countries, meaning that eligible users from participating countries have easy access to WiFi and Internet access across the world. Responsibility for eduroam in each country is delegated to a national roaming operator, who coordinates the individual institutions within their region.


In South Africa, the eduroam national roaming operator is the Tertiary Education and Research Network of South Africa (TENET), and the service is operated as a joint effort between TENET and the SANReN Competency Area at the CSIR under the banner of the SA NREN.
