Q. What is eduroam?
A. eduroam is a service for mutual use of campus wireless LANs at universities and other educational and research institutions. If you visit another university for an academic conference or collaborative research, you can use the Wi-Fi if that university is a member of eduroam. Since you can connect to eduroam within JAIST, we recommend that you issue an eduroam-ID to connect to eduroam before an academic conference or other event and check the connection. An eduroam-ID can be issued from the "eduroamJP Authentication Federation ID Service." (Detailed instructions for obtaining an eduroam-ID)
