The Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE) has partnered with the City of Reno to launch eduroam, a secure Wi-Fi access service, at public locations across the city.
The service will be accessible at nine locations: Evelyn Mount Northeast Community Center, California Building, McKinley Arts Center, Moana Springs Pool, Neil Road Recreation Center, Northwest Pool, Plumas Gym, Paradise Park and the Mira Loma Park.
Students, faculty, and researchers across all levels of education will be able to log in with their existing institutional credentials and connect automatically wherever eduroam is available.
“This partnership with the City of Reno is another strong example of how we can work together to eliminate digital barriers,” said Board of Regents Chair Byron Brooks. “Providing secure connectivity at community sites expands access to opportunity and helps ensure that all Nevadans, no matter where they are, can stay connected to learning, research, and innovation.”
NSHE says the service is supported by their System Computing Services and is offered free to public partners through state funding.
“We’re proud to partner with NSHE to bring eduroam to our residents,” said Reno Mayor Hillary Schieve. “This effort helps expand access to digital learning and supports students and researchers across our community.”
