Wireless (eduroam) - BYOD setup

The Network Transformation aims to:

• Deliver a centralised, business-grade network
• Improve network security
• Upgrade assets such as communication stacks and rooms
• Enable location independent access by installing new wireless network across all campuses
• Install new fixed network for more data security
• Lay the foundation for future technology

The Network Transformation is taking place over the next couple of months and will be occurring across all of our La Trobe campuses.

In order to facilitate these upgrades, some construction (drilling & installation) may be taking place around buildings and student residencies. You should be informed in advance to advise of any impacts.

Please reach out to networktransformation@latrobe.edu.au for any questions or support around the program.

Certificates only need to be installed on the device once with it expiring 5 years after the first connection date.

Each user is permitted up to 10 personal devices that they can register and connect to the LTU eduroam network.

Although we work to support all devices on Eduroam and LTU networks, certain models may have difficulty connecting due to circumstances outside our control.
