Abstract

Due to the appearance of various mobile terminals like smartphone, smartpad, and smartwatch and tremendous development of WiFi technology, data utilization rate on WiFi network is significantly increasing. As a result, users are wanting to use WiFi network using only a simple identification at a visited place as if they are at their home institute. In this paper, we review the domestic status of eduroam service which supports global extension of wireless network access environment and present the future development perspective of the service in Korea. Besides, we shed light on the current status of WiFi sharing service between domestic universities and propose some methods to facilitate the join of domestic universities in eduroam service.

WiFi 기술의 비약적인 발전과 스마트폰, 스마트패드, 스마트워치 등과 같은 다양한 모바일 단말의 출현으로 인해, 사용자들의 WiFi망 데이터 사용률은 크게 증가 하고 있다. 이에 따라 사용자들이 여행 중에도 방문지에서 단순한 신원인증을 통해 자신의 홈 WiFi 망을 이용하는 것처럼 방문지의 WiFi를 이용하고자 하는 수요가 크게 증가하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 무선 네트워크 접속환경의 글로벌 확장을 지원하는 eduroam의 국내 현황을 살펴보고 향후에 국내 eduroam 서비스의 발전 전망을 제시한다. 또한, 본 논문은 국내 대학간 WiFi 공동 활용 서비스 발전 현황을 설명하고, 국내 대학의 eduroam 서비스 가입 활성화에 필요한 방안들을 제시한다.
