My feeling is that most of the clients we serve are going to take the past of least resistance. Taking the time to onboard a second SSID is likely not going to happen for the majority of clients until it is the primary SSID. We ultimately decided that a the branding decision wasn’t the overweighing concern, here, but that obviously is going to vary wildly from institution to institution. We will likely have over 60,000 wireless clients connecting every day to eduroam, and I think that is the ultimate advertising campaign.

With dozens of thousands of wireless clients on the network daily, AirOrange SSID is one more facet of that culture. Eduroam is there for those who need it (single-digit percentage of all users), and they tend to find it just fine.

However, everything we have tried to educate our campus appears to have fallen on deaf ears. We still have large amounts of “Can I please have guest access” requests – even when we know they are coming from an institution that has eduroam. Has anyone mounted a successful campaign to educate their campus about eduroam? Does anyone have flyers, marketing material, digital signage graphics that they are willing to share?
