Secure global wifi system for third level will enable students, researchers and staff to stay campus-connected while at airport
Shannon airport is the first Irish airport to deploy eduroam the secure global wifi roaming service which enables third level students, researchers and staff to stay campus-connected while on the move.
Kerrie Power, HEAnet CEO said, “eduroam is highly valued by its millions of users around the world and our hope for the future is to see more and more hotspots appearing in public places as they follow Shannon Airports lead.”
eduroam is managed by HEAnet – Ireland’s National Education & Research Network, in collaboration with GÉANT and the global eduroam community.
