University of Maryland

University of Maryland - The University of Maryland now offers eduroam, or education roaming, a federated wireless access network. Eduroam is a secure, worldwide roaming Internet access service developed for the international research and education community. Eduroam allows campus community members at any participating institution to use wireless network services at any other participating institution with the simplicity and convenience of using the login credentials issued to them by their home institutions.

With this service, traveling University of Maryland students, faculty, and staff will be able to seamlessly access wireless networks as the gateway to the Internet while visiting campuses around the world. Furthermore, guests from other eduroam institutions will be able to make use of Maryland's extensive wireless network to gain access to the Internet using their own institutional credentials while visiting the University of Maryland.

The university's Office of Information Technology (OIT) is making the eduroam wireless service available. For more information, visit the university's eduroam wireless site or read the press release.
