eduroam now available at seven hospitals in Cardiff

29th January 2015

Just catching up with the expansion of eduroam - seems Visited services are now available at a number of Cardiff hospitals, including the three main ones you might find yourself at!

The full list is:        

Location                                                                                      Size of coverage

Nevill Hall Hospital, Aneurin Bevan University Health Board        200 APs

Royal Gwent Hospital, Aneurin Bevan University Health Board   200 APs

St Cadocs Hospital, Aneurin Bevan University Health Board       50  APs

Velindre Hospital                                                                         4 APs

Dental Hospital                                                                            20 APs  

Llandough Hospital                                                                      3 APs

Heath Hospital Main Building                                                        8 APs

Thanks for this have to go to the University networks and eduroam teams at Cardiff University and the hospitals for their co-operation.

Cardiff is just one university city that has been quietly extending their eduroam services into the local hospitals. There are now over 100 hospitals in the UK where eduroam is available - great for productively using your time when waiting for consultantions/treatment, visiting friends/relatives and of course for medical students during their clinical modules.

eduroam is available a number of surprising locations now. You can find your nearest hot spot with the eduroam AP eduroam Companion App or the interactive map of participating sites.
