Philippe, I’ve looked at the ANYROAM material, and also the CANARIE run “eVA” initiative (https://www.canarie.ca/identity/eduroam/eduroam-visitor-access/) which is along the same lines here in Canada. The advantage of using either of these two systems is that they are already up and running, have some measure of support attached to them, and are free. However, we do have a great deal of capability with our Aruba ClearPass platform, which depending on how we design our guest/visitor service might be administratively easier from a “single pane of glass” perspective.
But I must say, for those without an existing guest management platform, ANYROAM (and eVA) should definitely be given consideration. Thanks for your feedback!

(It’s free and runs on the eduroam SSID … specifically designed for parents etc… same functionality as eduroam but relies on phone number for authentication) About 40-50 schools use it. https://www.anyroam.net/node/6808 You can check the way it works at www.anyroam.net<http://www.anyroam.net> …under ANYROAM :) Let me know if you have questions, Philippe Philippe Hanset, CEO www.anyroam.net<http://www.anyroam.net> Operator of eduroam-US +1 (865) 236-0770 GPG key id: 0xF2636F9C On Jan 8, 2020, at 3:41 PM, Craig Simons <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Fellow peers, Simon Fraser University is planning on deploying a guest network to supplement our existing eduroam service. We are anticipating this service to be used by parents, short term contractors, and the general public. Obviously, we are mindful of how opening up our networks to a wider range of users may present security and support challenges despite the benefits it brings. To gain a better understanding from those who’ve perhaps done this before, I’ve created a very short survey. I would greatly appreciate if you would consider taking 3-4 minutes of your time to have a look (even if your institution doesn’t have a guest network!). I am hoping your experiences will help shape how we approach the design of the service. After a week or two I will summarize the results and post to the group, so the more the merrier! https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/8CV82TV Thanks!
