General
The AYY wireless network provides two different ways to use the network: via eduroam authentication (essid "eduroam") or via unauthenticated open access network (essid "tupsu"). Eduroam is an academic wireless federation which provides network roaming access to the users of its member organizations in Europe, Asia-Pacific, Canada and United States.
The AYY open access network ("tupsu") is an insecure network without encryption. Eduroam always uses WPA2/AES encrypted connections. Therefore eduroam is the recommended access method.
TKK eduroam instructions are available (in Finnish only). Users of other universities should refer to their own university's guidelines (a list of Finnish universities participating) for correct eduroam configuration.
The AYY wireless network supports IPv4 via DHCP and IPv6 via stateless address autoconfiguration regardless of access method (open access or eduroam). The network also supports multicasting, but there may be quality degrading issues due to bandwidth requirements and radio connectivity.
Network Technology
The wireless network supports IEEE 802.11b/g/n standards with 2.4 GHz and IEEE 802.11a/n standards with 5 GHz frequences. The wireless network offers up to 300 Mbps bandwidth (using 40 MHz channels with 5 GHz) for end-users.
Network Coverage
The AYY wireless network is available in sauna, party and meeting facilities. You can view the network coverage in Google Maps or in Google Earth.
