Advantages

The secure network has a number of advantages over the BengalOpen16 network:

  • Faculty, staff and students only need to enroll their devices once per year.
  • Enrolled devices will auto-login to the secure network when on campus.
  • Wireless communication over the secure network is encrypted to protect user information.

When connected to BengalOpen16, wireless traffic is not encrypted and you must re-login each time your connection times out (typically after 15 minutes of inactivity).
