Eduroam

What is eduroam?

Eduroam (education roaming) is a secure, worldwide roaming access service developed for the international research and education community. Eduroam allows students, researchers, and staff from participating institutions to obtain Internet connectivity across campus and when visiting other campuses by simply opening their laptops. With hundreds of thousands of wireless access points sharing a common SSID, eduroam acts as one large, worldwide, wireless hotspot. For a full list of member institutions, please click here.

How does it work?

Eduroam is a worldwide federation of RADIUS servers that facilitates network access for roaming academic affiliates using IEEE 802.1x as the vehicle. Eduroam's use of 802.1x in concert with RADIUS means the network is built around well-understood, established, and easy-to-manage standards that are often already deployed within the network infrastructure of educational institutions.

User credentials are not revealed to the institution at which an eduroamer joins, but instead are only revealed to their home institution, providing an extra measure of comfort for visiting users. The eduroam network thus also provides a simple and automatic guest provisioning system.

What buildings at Baylor currently support eduroam?

Eduroam is currently available across the Baylor campus. Visitors with existing eduroam profiles may connect at these locations to the eduroam wireless access point.

Note: If you are a Baylor faculty, staff, or student with an eduroam profile, we advise you to use the AirBear WPA2 wireless network while on the Baylor campus. If you wish to test Baylor's eduroam network (or use eduroam at another location), you will need to input your full Baylor email address as your username.

How do I connect?

Simply connect to the eduroam wireless network where available on the Baylor campus and use the login credentials from your home academic institution or eduroam participating organization.

If you are a member of the Baylor community visiting a location that is part of the eduroam consortium, you can join the eduroam wireless network by entering your full Baylor email address as your username and your Baylor Bear ID password.
