1. Access Wi-Fi Service in PolyU Main Campus and Other Institutions via "eduroam"

ITU is glad to inform you that CPCE has joined the eduroam (education roaming), which is a world-wide roaming access service developed for the international research and education community. With eduroam, students and staff members of an institution can make use of the credentials provided by their institution to logon the Wireless Network of another institution that is also a member of eduroam. Currently, all the local UGC-funded institutions and some oversea universities have joined eduroam http://www.eduroam.hk/participants.html.

Starting from 23 April 2012, the student and staff of SPEED and HKCC of CPCE will be eligible to access WiFi services in ‘eduroam-enabled’ institutions including PolyU Main Campus. ITU will review the service after this 3-month trial period, meanwhile CPCE will upgrade its network infrastructure to strengthen its capacity for the future growth in this summer.

Please note your username to access Wi-Fi service via eduroam should be username@cpce.hk and the password is same as the one to access your email account. Please take a look at the following example:
