From the University of Alabama:
UA-WPA2 General faculty/Staff/Student use - WPA2 Enterprise
UA-WPA-PSK Special for game consoles & stuff that can’t do WPA2
Enterprise - WPA PSK
UA-Help Info on using UA-WPA2 - open
UA-Athletics Special for UA Athletics - WPA PSK moving to WPA2
Enterprise within a month
UA-Athletics-Media Special for UA Athletics - WPA2 Enterprise
UA-WPA2-OIT Hidden SSID for Office of Info Tech use only - WPA2
Enterprise
eduroam
The only ones shown in all areas of campus are:
UA-WPA2
UA-WPA-PSK
UA-Help
eduroam
Plus the hidden UA-WPA2-OIT
We have considered making eduroam our only SSID, but just can’t get away for
some non-eduroam stuff.
We have nothing for the general public off the street. But, we couldn't handle
the 150K+ folks who descend on campus for football games in addition to the 50K
faculty/staff/students we always have.

Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] SSID names
Hello, I have been encouraged by one of our governance bodies to consider
renaming our wireless SSIDs to better match the network names to the function
of the networks behind them. I don’t get it, but maybe I am a little too close
to it. We don’t have any residential on our campuses so have just two primary
SSIDs in use on our campus (as well as eduRoam). One is named Public and is
our onboarding/guest network. The other is our authenticated/secure network
which we call MC3Waves and is for all students, staff, faculty and
administrators, with 802.1x on the back end to steer the end user to the
appropriate role. We have had these network around for as long as I can
remember (15 years maybe). I am curious how others are naming and separating
the SSIDs in their environment?
Thanks in advance,
Jim Stasik
