TF-MOBILITY

The TERENA task force on Mobility investigates the issues that arise when users move between different organisations (generally campuses and NRENs) and try to gain access to the Internet using their own mobile devices. In 2003 TF-Mobility started a test bed to demonstrate the feasibility of providing roaming network access across research and education networks in Europe; this test bed was eduroam.

The goals of the Task Force are:

  • to provide a forum for exchanging experiences and knowledge;
  • to promote the benefits of the technology and assist in the rollout of the roaming infrastructure;
  • to provide a technical-knowledge repository containing information about standards and product for roaming services;
  • to test, update and extend current roaming infrastructure among NRENs and beyond;
  • to consider the impact of future development in roaming;
