What is UoB-IoT
鈥楿oB-IoT鈥� is a Wi-Fi network that you can connect to if your device does not have access to 鈥�eduroam鈥�.
UoB-IoT uses the latest Wi-Fi security, encrypting the connection between devices and access points by requiring a unique, per device password, issued during UoB-IoT registration.
How you connect to UoB-IoT
How you connect your devices to UoB-IoT depends on whether you know the MAC addresses of your devices. Your MAC address is a hardware identification number that uniquely identifies each device on a network.
