eduroam (education roaming) is a secure, world-wide Wi-Fi roaming service developed for the international research and education community. Users can connect to Wi-Fi using their institutional login credentials at any eduroam-enabled campus globally.
As long as the institution participates in eduroam and your UESD credentials are valid, you can connect anywhere in the world where eduroam is available.
eduroam CAT (Configuration Assistant Tool) is a utility that automatically sets up secure eduroam profiles on supported devices, ensuring correct configuration and improved security.

Yes! eduroam uses 802.1X with WPA2/WPA3 Enterprise encryption. Your credentials are only sent to UESD's authentication server—even when you're at a different institution.
