Azerbaijan Technical University (ATU) and Nakhchivan State University (NSU) have joined the eduroam network following the connection of their network infrastructures to the National eduroam Server located at the AzScienceNet Network Operations Center Data Center.
During a visit to Nakhchivan State University, specialists from AzScienceNet, Head of Center, Phd. Babak Nabiyev and chief specialist, Orkhan Mansimzada, successfully deployed the eduroam service alongside the installation of the Lola system, ensuring seamless and secure wireless connectivity across the campus. This initiative not only further strengthens Nakhchivan State University’s integration into global research and education networks but also enables students and faculty to access secure, convenient, and uninterrupted Internet connectivity during domestic and international travels.
At the same time, a number of significant steps have been taken to establish Wi-Fi and eduroam services at AzTU and NSU. With the technical support of the AzScienceNet Network Operations Center, faculty members and students of both universities have access to high-level network technologies and services that meet international standards. As a result, academic staff from both universities have gained access to eduroam services provided by the GÉANT and have been more effectively integrated into the local and international research environment.
It should be noted that eduroam is an international roaming service that provides scientists, researchers, teachers, and students with secure and free Internet access. Users connected to this service can access free and secure wireless Internet at thousands of research and educational institutions, both within the country and abroad. Currently, the eduroam service is used by more than 6,000 education and research institutions in 106 countries worldwide and is active across over 38,000 institutions in total.
Today, the eduroam service is available in 35 organizations across Azerbaijan. Relevant efforts are ongoing to introduce this service in other research institutions and higher education establishments.
