eduroam
Shout out to students!
We are thrilled to announce that @eduroam Wi-Fi is now available in Castlebar, Ballina and Westport libraries.
eduroam (education roaming) is a federated service that allows roaming research and educational users to more easily obtain Internet access via the WiFi service at participating sites. When attaching to eduroam WiFi users are authenticated via their home institution. If authentication succeeds the user is granted wireless network access.
Further information on eduroam is available from the national eduraom site for Ireland, which identifies eduroam hotspots in Ireland, and from the central eduroam service website, which identifies eduroam hotspots worldwide.
Take a look at this video to see what eduroam is about!
