Maseno Eduroam Network

About Maseno....

Maseno university is a well known university across the globe for many reasons with the major ones being the only university in the world that lies on the equator, offers all degrees with IT and produces competent and industry oriented graduates. Following its technology achievements it has been considered a university of choice by many. The international community too appreciate this and therefore the introduction of a global network for scholars (Eduroam) in Maseno.

What is Eduroam?

Eduroam stands education roaming. This is a secure, world-wide roaming access service developed for the international research and education community. Eduroam network allows students, researchers and staff from participating institutions to obtain Internet connectivity across campus and when visiting other participating institutions by simply opening their laptop or the smart phone.

Eduroam started in Europe and it has has gained popularity throughout the research and education community and is now available in 71 countries across the globe. Thank God Kenya is one of the participating Countries and even more that Maseno is among the universities across the world that you can get Eduroam.  

Benefits of eduroam over other unsecured networks

• Easy to use
• High  speed connectivity at the hundreds of participating institutions across the world.
• Onetime configuration and access across the world 
• Data and privacy protection

It is because of these benefits that Maseno University is migrating to the secured eduroam network from the open unsecured maseno network very soon. The open maseno network will be shut down completely soon. It will be so unfortunate that you will not be able to access internet connection if you will not have migrated to eduroam by the time its shut down.
