The mailing list for users of the eduroam Configuration Assistant Tool (CAT)

hi,

do they need to be on WiFi to get the APK? how many devices don't have the 3G/4G option (ie are wireless only..eg tablet) 

not a large percentage of sites use eduroamCAT - its uptake is growing but many have their own local on-boarding solutions as

part of their local wireless provision (eg using Aruba or Cisco products etc) - they may have CAT profiles - but don't count on it...

and their CAT profile may just be a final backup/last resort option)

I guess in the end its all a matter of balancing the student experience against the risks. A lot of Android users will have issues

anyway - because of the fragmented market

So many places seem to work on random assumptions and plan around loads of 'what ifs' rather than doing some decent user surveys

and finding out what solution they do need on site and balance priorities and solution accordingly :)
