SI has the responsability to:
- Plan the coverage of the wireless network signal;
- Install and configure access points (APs) that emit the wireless signal;
- Monitor and maintain the APs;
- Provide IP connectivity (IPv4 and IPv6) to users who connect to APs, just as if they were connecting to the physical network;
- Implement the access control mechanisms to the wireless network, standardized according to the specifications of the Eduroam network.
Eduroam Network

Externally, Técnico’s users may use their credentials to access Eduroam networks from other higher education or research schools (hence the relevant need to use the suffix @tecnico.ulisboa.pt in the username field when setting up the connection to the Eduroam network).
