The IT&N team has outdone themselves, ensuring that Eduroam is now the gold standard for connectivity for all MUT travelers. Those who have faced Eduroam hurdles may now rejoice! Thanks to the tireless efforts of Dr Marlo de Swardt, Senior Director: IT&N, and Njabulo Xaba, Workshop Technician in the department, the hurdles are now a thing of the past.
“I am genuinely humbled, Dr de Swardt, for the relentless dedication you have shown to this project,” expressed Professor Nokuthula Sibiya, the University Vice-Chancellor and Principal. “From this moment forward, no MUT traveler will ever find themselves disconnected. This has been particularly crucial for me during my whirlwind of statutory meetings.”
Dr de Swardt has made a bold pledge: all travelers should notify IT&N before embarking on their international travel. “With Eduroam, it is as simple as stepping into any participating institution and logging on with your home credentials. No more fussing with multiple passwords; just smooth, seamless connectivity,” Dr de Swardt said.
Professor Sibiya, who often leads large delegations, noted. “Now we stand shoulder to shoulder with the best universities out there! No more stress over guest passwords; I have tested Eduroam extensively on my recent travels!”
Dr de Swardt highlighted the game-changing aspect of cost efficiency: “By sharing infrastructure, institutions can cut down on the need for individual guest Wi-Fi systems. This not only saves money but also guarantees high-quality access without the hassle of fragmentation. It is truly a win-win for everyone!”
Xaba, also responsible for the network’s security, could not contain his excitement as he saw the results of his labour come to life. “In a world fraught with cyber threats, Eduroam employs cutting-edge encryption to keep your data safe while you move through public networks. This means you can focus entirely on your research instead of worrying about your internet connection!”
With Eduroam at their side, MUT travelers are set to conquer the globe with confidence and ease!
