Wireless
Wireless Internet access, (eduroam and lapwing), is available throughout the majority of the Donald McIntyre Building, The Science Education Centre and Trumpington House. The Mary Allan Building also has eduroam available.
eduroam/JANET Roaming Service
eduroam is an international initiative that allows members of educational establishments to gain internet access at other member sites easily, using credentials from their home site in a secure manner.
eduroam has the added bonus of not requiring the user to go through the Lapwing login sequence each time, and is ideal to be used frequently in and around the Faculty as well as at other institutions.
To view other institutions who may be using eduroam, please see:
