UTA IoT Network
The UTA IoT SSID is designed to support devices that require pre-shared key (PSK) authentication and cannot use certificate-based or credential-based methods used by other UTA SSIDs. This network provides secure connectivity for a range of specialized and non-traditional devices, including Mersive Solstice units, smart TVs, and research or lab-based IoT equipment.
To connect a device to this SSID, a user must obtain a passphrase through the PSK Self-Service Portal or through a My Apps tile. The portal requires login with Microsoft SSO credentials.

After authentication, users are issued a unique passphrase associated with your UTA email address. Each passphrase supports up to five concurrent device connections. Requests for additional capacity or specialized configurations are managed through ServiceNow.
The UTA IoT SSID is not intended for general use. Laptops, phones and other devices capable of certificate or credential-based authentication should connect to the appropriate UTA SSID for their device type rather than using the IoT network.
OIT will begin rolling out the UTA IoT SSID this summer with full implementation by the end of 2026.
