eduroam (education roaming) is a wireless service that enables iThemba LABS staff and students to use the wireless networks at other participating universities and research facilities worldwide. It also enables other eduroam users to use the wireless network at iThemba LABS.
Conditions of use:
- Limit the number of devices you connect. You may connect up to 3 devices to the network simultaneously.
- Use the internet responsibly and in moderation: We monitor individual bandwidth usage, so use the internet responsibly for study, research and work-related purposes. Remember that you are bound by the labs policies such as the Information Technology Acceptable Use Policies .
- Abide by eduroam policies: Read the eduroam National Policy for South Africa
- Do not share your login username and password: Doing so can compromise your data and the labs’ network. It can also result in people connecting multiple devices to eduroam under your name – which can result in you losing access to eduroam.
