OIT Communication Technologies (ComTech) is encouraging the campus community to useeducationroaming (eduroam), a free, fully encrypted wireless service for the international research and education community that will eventually replace the currentncsuwireless service set identifier (SSID) for most users.
With eduroam, NC State students, employees and guests who have “home” certificate-based credentials can connect securely to the Internet, both on the NC State campus and while visiting any participating institution worldwide. Once enrolled locally, you will connect seamlessly to the eduroam service when you visit those institutions, without needing guest credentials.
You’ll need only your Unity ID and password to get started. Go toEnroll in eduroamand follow the prompts.
OIT’s long-term goal is to make eduroam the primary SSID on campus. The currentncsuSSID will still be available for those who can’t use eduroam, and thencsu-guestSSID will remain available for campus visitors.
