Access to reliable, secure internet is essential for today’s students. However, many K-12 schools face challenges in providing seamless Wi-Fi connectivity beyond the classroom. A growing number of districts are turning to Eduroam, a Wi-Fi service originally designed for higher education, to expand secure internet access for students and educators.
