WiFi Networks

FBK offers various WiFi networks within its buildings and has activated federations with some public and private networks located in various geographical areas.

FBK-Guests

  • All areas of the FBK offices are covered by the FBK-Guests WiFi network, an open network, designed for browsing only: in fact, the devices connected to it do not communicate with each other and connections via Meet, Teams and Zoom may present difficulties and insufficient performance.
  • To authenticate to the network, which is necessary for all users (employees and guests), you will need to have a working e-mail address or a personal Google profile.
  • With the second method, you can simply use your login credentials for the related services (gmail, workspace, etc.) and no further steps are necessary; with authentication with an address, you will receive a numeric verification code to the indicated email to enter the login screen. The code automatically enables access to the network until midnight of the current day. The system also sends a registration confirmation email with a password that can be used to reconnect during the day or access with another device (maximum two at the same time per user) without having to repeat the registration.
  • When the configured access period expires, to reconnect the user will have to register again to receive the relative verification code.
  • The processing of the data provided and the conditions of use of the FBK-Guests network must be explicitly accepted (by inserting the mark in the Checkbox) to receive the confirmation code necessary to validate the registration.

Eduroam

Eduroam (https://www.eduroam.org) is a service that offers secure wireless access to all research centers and universities that join the initiative. Roaming users who visit an Eduroam center are able to use the local wireless network (WLAN) using the same credentials (username and password) that they would use in their home institution, without the need for further formalities at the host center.

The map of the institutes is available here https://www.eduroam.org/.

The first connection to Eduroam must be made at FBK and is quite simple. Once done, the connection will work for all eduroam sites worldwide.
