Wi-Fi roaming
Wi-Fi roaming is the ability of a wireless device to seamlessly switch between different Wi-Fi access points (APs) within the same network without losing connection. This is useful in environments with multiple APs, such as offices, campuses, or large homes, where a single AP cannot cover the entire area effectively.
Beyond local roaming, Wi-Fi roaming networks like eduroam and OpenRoaming allow users to connect across multiple locations using the same credentials. Radiator provides products and solutions for all the common Wi-Fi roaming networks.
Wi-Fi Roaming eduroam
eduroam (short for education roaming) worldwide wireless network for educational and research institutions worldwide. It allows students, researchers, and staff from eduroam connected organisations to connect to the internet at any eduroam-enabled location using their home institution’s login credentials. These credentials are often username and password issued by the home organisation.
Radiator can and has been used for all levels of eduroam. Radiator Software’s experts have contributed to development for over two decades. Radiator AAA is used by over 100 universities across the world.
Wi-Fi Roaming OpenRoaming
OpenRoaming is a technology and commercial ecosystem for WiFi connectivity. End users with credentials from any participating organisation can seamlessly login to secure Wi-Fi in all OpenRoaming locations.
OpenRoaming federation members include access network providers (ANPs) who provide the wireless connectivity, and identity providers (IdPs), who provide user credentials to end users, with many organisations acting in both capacities.
Radiator provides solutions for both ANP and IdP OpenRoaming deployments.
