It only works with institutes who are part of a larger global consortium, and Georgia Tech is a participating member.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe eduroam network enables seamless connectivity for members of participating institutions. It provides a way for Georgia Tech students, faculty, researchers and staff to remain on Tech\u0026rsquo;s eduroam network when visiting member institutions, and also provides Wi-Fi access to visitors from other institutions to connect to their own eduroam network without the need for guest sponsorships or visitor passes.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EWhile you can still choose GT Wi-Fi as your network of choice for now, only eduroam can be used outside of the Tech campus when visiting a eduroam participating institution. \u0026nbsp;It is important that only one GT network be configured on any device at any one time. So, whether visiting another eduroam-accessible institute, or when entertaining guests from participating institutions, you may wish to switch from GT Wi-Fi to eduroam.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EFor more information on configuring eduroam, see the LAWN service page at: \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/lawn.gatech.edu\/help\/eduroam\/\u0022\u003Elawn.gatech.edu\/help\/eduroam\u003C\/a\u003E.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EIf you\u0026rsquo;re using GT Wi-Fi and you\u0026rsquo;ve looked at your Wi-Fi options lately, you may have noticed that there\u0026rsquo;s another Wi-Fi network available, eduroam, as one of the choices for connecting to Wi-Fi services on campus.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"If you\u0027re using GT Wi-Fi and you\u0027ve looked at your Wi-Fi options lately, you may have noticed that there\u0027s another Wi-Fi network available, eduroam, as one of the choices for connecting to Wi-Fi services on campus.
