Access the Abertay network from other Universities

Students and staff can now use the eduroam service to access the Abertay network from 100s of Higher Education institutions across the UK and overseas. Eduroam will make it easier to work on the move, whether you are a student on vacation or a member of staff visiting another University.

Eduroam is a free wireless Internet service that allows you to log in to your home network, from any participating institution, using your network username and password. You will have access to the Internet, Portal, email, library resources, files via WebVPN, etc.

Eduroam will work with a laptop or other mobile device such as an iPhone or iPod. You will have to configure your laptop/mobile devide in advance. Help and instructions are available on the IS Service Desk Eduroam page.

Go to the ja.net site for a map of locations and a list of participating institutions.
