Access to Campus Network
Wireless LAN (WLAN / Wi-Fi) for employees and students
TU Dresden takes part in the DFN roaming project (DFN = Deutsches ForschungsNetz; internet provider for universities in Germany). Thus employees, students and especially guests, whose universities also participate in DFNRoaming, can get access to the Wireless LAN of TU Dresden. Conversely, if you are at one of these locations , you can also use the wireless LAN there. From a technical point of view this is realized with IEEE 802.1x and distributed RADIUS servers.
