Our new eduroam visitor service is now available for Weill Cornell faculty, staff, and students to use at outside institutions! While you're on WCMC's campus, you'll still use our current wireless networks (WMC Secure or WCMC) to access the Internet when needed. However, if you travel frequently to different campuses for business or research, you can now access wireless Internet at participating institutions with ease using your own WCMC email and password. No complicated setups. No need to memorize different user names and passwords.
What is eduroam?
As mentioned in a previous message, eduroam is a wireless access service used by thousands of educational institutions in the United States and worldwide. Because it's used by so many institutions, this means you can easily access wireless Internet on virtually any campus you visit. Likewise, visitors from other universities that have enabled eduroam can access wireless Internet at Weill Cornell with their own credentials from their home institution. Connecting to eduroam is free and requires authentication for added security.
