CFL and Restena offer a secure WiFi access to the research and education community
Based on the ‘CFL Free WiFi’ infrastructure set up by the CFL Infrastructure Manager, a new collaboration has just been established between the CFL and the Restena Foundation . Interconnecting and delivering essential network and security services to actors in research and education, health, culture and public administration in Luxembourg, Restena notably coordinates eduroam in Luxembourg, a service delivered on a global scale. As such, Restena offers its community of users a secure and automatic WiFi connection available in Luxembourg and in over a hundred other countries.
The objective of CFL and Restena is to progressively make the eduroam network service available via WiFi terminals located throughout CFL’s railway stations, railway stops and buses. eduroam is used as secure Internet access by a large proportion of daily train users. Thus, secondary school pupils, secondary school teachers, students, university professors and research institute staff, also foreign users visiting Luxembourg on an occasional basis, will automatically connect to eduroam when visiting a station where the eduroam signal is available.
“This collaboration enhances our WiFi infrastructure and opens up a new high value-added market.”
Marc Hoffmann, Infrastructure Management Director at CFL
“Connectivity services contribute greatly to the travel comfort and connectivity of the educational and research community in Luxembourg, which is among the regular customers of our trains!”
Marc Wengler, Chief Executive Officer at CFL
