... We have the stats but are not publishing institution specific them for privacy reasons. http://www.eduroamus.org/node/232 I have testimonials from Schools like UCSD and UChicago that immediately noticed hundreds of visitors on their campuses. Drexel University, for instance, had 40 eduroam users the first day they turned the SSID on. In general large institutions are amazed at how many eduroam visitors they have on campus.
This said, the largest benefit is to make your campus population compatible with locations that heavily use eduroam (e.g. if your study abroad students go to Europe or Australia). There are places in Europe that make very difficult to use anything else than eduroam. To answer the "using eduroam as the main 1X network", we have seen schools doing that very successfully. (your are definitely ready to roam...just by using it at your school) Here at UT Knoxville, we have opted to still keep the UTK branded 1x network and the eduroam network together for a while with the idea of getting rid of the UTK 1x (called ut-wpa2) in the future. In reality this is just a beaconing difference...in the back we resolve people that join eduroam with @utk.edu credentials to the exact same VLANs as the people joining ut-wpa2. To answer the sub-domain question: we pass to your University everything in the form @*.university.edu So you decide what to do. If you have alias issues, in some cases, an installer like Xpressconnect can be very helpful Best Philippe Hanset www.eduroamus.org (eduroam is now an Internet2 NET+ Service) On Nov 12, 2012, at 6:39 PM, Lee H Badman <lhbad...@syr.edu> wrote: > Does anyone keep stats on how much your Eduroam efforts get used?
