Benefits of using eVA

For Visitors:

  • Can use the eduroam network securely and are no longer at the mercy of less secure open guest networks or other unknown Wi-Fi networks in the vicinity of the organisation.

  • Can be provided with Wi-Fi connections quickly and efficiently.

For Your Organisation:

  • Allows guests to gain access with minimal administrative effort from your IT organisation.

  • Will allow you to know who is on your network and retain control of all accounts.

  • Accounts are time-boxed and automatically expire at the end of the defined access period, without further intervention.

  • Could allow the decommissioning of all non-eduroam Wi-Fi networks at the organisation, as all Wi-Fi needs can now be serviced via eduroam.
