The eduroam in the country will be managed by RNP and benefit over one million people
The National Network of Education and Research Network (RNP) has been recognized as Roaming Operator (RO) of eduroam in Brazil, which qualifies as a formal organization responsible for managing and operating the service in the country. Scheduled for launch in Brazil in the second half of 2012, the eduroam is an international initiative that offers free wireless connection via Single Sign On (SSO) - ie the use of a single credential (username and password) to connect - in institutions of higher education and research. Access will also be allowed outdoors in academic institutions that integrate the initiative. The RNP is expected to benefit more than one million people linked to these institutions throughout the country.
Created ten years ago, the eduroam is comprised of hundreds of educational and research institutions around the world. Currently, eduroam is present in 54 countries, with the largest share in Europe, and has 5,637 access points. In Latin America, Brazil and Peru are the only countries within the international eduroam initiative.
Recently, the RNP was also invited to join the Eduroam Governance Committee (GeGC) as one of the representatives of eduroam in Latin America. Responsible for modeling and structuring of the new service, Leandro Guimarăes, RNP Services Manager, was appointed as a representative of the institution and attended the eighth meeting of GeGC in Reykjavik, Iceland, the first face meeting with members of the Committee.
