All faculty, staff, and students have access to Eduroam. Eduroam is a good backup if your device fails to connect to the main SUNYBroomeConnect Wi-Fi network. It also allows guests from other participating institutions to connect to a more secure Wi-Fi network than an open guest network. To find other participating institutions follow this link.
