Italian version [1]
Service description and rules
The INFN joined in the Eduroam (Education Roaming) project for roaming of wi-fi users from Asian, Canadian, European and American universities and research institutes.
The service allow to access to the wireless infrastructure using own credentials at any italian or foreign institution supporting the Eduroam project.
At the same way italian and foreign guests whose institution has joined in the project can use their credentials to access to our wireless network.
Service access rules edited by the Italian Federation of Eduroam [2] for users and providers are available at this link about Rules and policy: Eduroam terms of service [3]. Here you can find Italian member institutions (joined to Eduroam): Italian Eduroam Sites [4].
For a complete list of institutions that joined in the Eduroam project you can look at this page: Where can I eduroam? [5].
