KanREN is excited to announce that we are the first state Research and Education Network in the country to have joined eduroam.<\/strong><\/p>\n

eduroam (edu<\/strong>cation roam<\/strong>ing) is the secure worldwide federated network access service developed for the international research and education community.\u00a0 eduroam provides “per-user, per-session encrypted network access for visitors from participating institutions, without<\/strong> the need to gain guest credentials on arrival to an eduroam enabled location”.\u00a0 This means that eduroam users can join thousands of eduroam hot-spots with minimal hassle or data charges.\u00a0 Connecting to eduroam is as simple as logging into any wireless network (provided that the user has proper credentials) as eduroam supports “cross platform uniform access”.<\/p>\n

eduroam is free to its users worldwide.\u00a0 The providers of eduroam hot-spots are making the service available to benefit all members of the research and education community.\u00a0 Joining eduroam is currently free for institutions as well.\u00a0 More information about how to get your institution connected to eduroam can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
