WHY IS IT HAPPENING?
Since 2015, eduroam has been available on campus. The network is maintained by the Georgia Tech Local Area Walkup & Wireless Network (LAWN), which provides visitors and the campus community access to Institute networks and computing resources. The eduroam network is the primary — and LAWN-recommended — wireless network for users on the Atlanta campus and instructional sites such as Georgia Tech-Europe.

Digital certificates will replace the current Institute network authentication process (via username and password credentials) by the end of 2025. Compared to credential-based authentication, the certificate-based method offers significantly enhanced security against cyber threats, such as credential and account fraud. It also enhances the user experience by streamlining the overall login process.

WHO IS AFFECTED?
Users of Georgia Tech managed Windows endpoints that utilizes eduroam for connectivity.

Affected services: Georgia Tech wifi connectivity.

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO DO?
No user action is required. Other LAWN-hosted wireless networks, including GTother and GTvisitor, will not be affected by the credential-based authentication sunset and will remain in service throughout the transition process.
