Subscribing to eduroam
1. Are you eligible?
The eduroam service is open to:
- Research and Education – Any U.S.-based research organization or education-related institution can join the InCommon eduroam roaming wireless service. This includes non-profit colleges and universities, museums, libraries, research labs, and others. If you aren’t sure if you are eligible, please ask us via our Help web form.
- Multi-campus universities and other organizations with multiple entities – Internet2 has connector agreements which allow multiple entities with a pre-existing legal or organizational ties to sign one common agreement (for example, a multi-campus university system). There are two versions of this group connector agreement. One allows for multiple institutions which all manage their own service instances. The other provides for organizations with one centralized service management. For more on this option, please ask us via our Help web form.
- Organizations outside of Research and Education – Any company or organization based in the U.S. can offer eduroam as a hotspot at no charge! This is sometimes called a wireless access point, a service provider, a wifi hotspot. For more information about being an eduroam SP in the U.S., contact us through our Help webform, or go to Step 2 below and click through the Hotspot legal agreement. It’ll be great to have you.
- K12 organizations are now supported by our “Support Organization” program, launching state by state. Right now: Utah and Nebraska are live and growing their K12 communities. Connecticut and Oregon are starting up their programs, too! Interested in joining them? Contact us via our our Help web form!
- Please note: You do not have to be an Internet2 member or InCommon Participant in order to subscribe to eduroam.
