The SCC would like to provide a fast and reliable Wifi experience on Campus. Therefore, a change of wireless network names leading to a more efficient use of our limited wireless spectrum is mandatory.
We are also introducing new authentication servers yielding improved performance for the ever-increasing wifi usage.
Additionally, the root certificate of Deutsche Telekom currently used by our authentication servers will expire and must be replaced.
We would like to make these necessary transitions as easy as possible for you, therefore we summarized the most important changes below.
Timeframe
- 08.09.2017: Introduction of KIT“& KA-WLAN“ everywhere on campus
- 15.09.2017: Shutdown of vpn/web/belwue“. Replacement: KIT und KA-WLAN (see below)

Those rouge APs reduce the quality of out official wifi. If you have trouble receiving
official KIT wifi please contact the wifi team.
