RNP and MoRENet: longstanding partnership
Since 2013, RNP shares its expertise in ICT with the Mozambican network
Promoting the innovative use of advanced networks has been our mission for some years now. One of its recent developments was our support to the Mozambican Education and Research Network, MoRENet, to set up a national eduroam structure and an identity federation, which was named CAF-Moz. With edurom, members of MoRENet and later the institutions that are part of this network can have quick and easy access to Wi-Fi networks in more than 80 countries worldwide, using the same login and password of their respective institutions. In addition, the identity federation will enable and facilitate the implementation of new federated services in the Mozambican network.
"We consider RNP's participation in implementing the eduroam service and our very positive identity federation. Our cadres have learned from the expertise of RNP specialists not only on the technical aspects but also on project management, as well as the attitude and responsibility towards an initiative of this magnitude and importance, "said MoRENet executive director Lourino Chemane.
MoRENet already has roaming service of eduroam
Improve service to teaching and research institutions. It was with this objective that the MoRENet Education and Research Network, MoRENet, set up a national framework for eduroam, a service developed for the international education and research community that offers wireless internet access without the need for multiple logins and Passwords. As a result, members of MoRENet and later of the institutions that are part of this network can access the local Wi-Fi network and more than 80 countries in the world using the same login and password of their respective institutions.
