- Jisc RSCs / RSC Wales support post-16 education providers in Wales. I’m a Technical advisors in Wales providing advice, guidance and support in managing their technical infrastructure.Clear that many providers were struggling with wireless access; there are some very poor solutions on many counts - security, accountability, and usability. We were pretty sure eduroam would be the perfect solution…Being an RSC also means being based at a University. Our hosts - Swansea University are heavy users of eduroam, experienced staff with one being an ‘eduroam mentor’ and developer of a configuration tool for eduroam, so we had a good base of knowledge locally to draw up on. In addition to the experience in the RSC team.Started a project in Summer 2012, working with three providers and continued from there.
