In order to enable your users with eduroam access, it is necessary to implement appropriate authentication infrastructure and  provide digital identities (username and password) to your users. Additionally, our recommendation is to use any wireless network access points within eduroam which would result in increase of number of access points, but also enhance both safety and access control to your wireless infrastructure.
