- While you're still at UCT, set up your laptop or mobile device to use eduroam.
- When you visit another eduroam-affiliated institution, enable your device's wireless setting.
- Connect to the eduroam service, which will appear as a wireless service.
- Log on using your UCT username (e.g. 01234567@wf.uct.ac.za) and password.
- Instantaneously, the host institution will send an authentication request to verify your credentials. Once authenticated, you are able to access their wireless network and the internet.
UCT students and staff members can now access eduroam in all public airports managed by the Airports Company South Africa (ACSA). This is thanks to a public-private partnership between the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits), ACSA and TENET. (Visit the TENET website for more information on this initiative.)
This follows the introduction of eduroam at numerous City of Cape Town libraries, along with access at public healthcare facilities including Groote Schuur Hospital, Mowbray Maternity Hospital, Victoria Hospital, and Alexandra Hospital. (Access the eduroam South Africa interactive map to see where else eduroam is available.)
