Wireless network in the Svalbard Science Centre, UNIS Guest House and the student housing
Eduroam – Information and how to connect
“eduroam (education roaming) is the secure, world-wide roaming access service developed for the international research and education community.”
Eduroam is the primary wireless network for both students and employees at UNIS. Guest from other eduroam capable institutions can log onto the eduroam network at UNIS with their existing login credentials as well. However logging on to eduroam with credentials from other universities will only give you internet access and not access to our local network services. So to be able to use our local services, such as printing and map network shares, you will have to use your UNIS-credentials.
Configure eduroam
To connect to eduroam with your UNIS credentials, make sure you have removed your current eduroam profile from your computer. This is also explained in the manuals below.
More information on Eduroam
Guest network
The wireless guest network is a self-service portal. Connect to Guest and you will be redirected to the self-service portal with instructions.
Your registration is valid for one week and you may use the same guest username and password for 5 devices.
The guest network will give you Internet access. To get access to UNIS services you need to have a UNIS user account and use Eduroam instead.
