The hub for NRENs
Ways to join the federation
Whether you want to contribute capacity or simply subscribe to the service, there is a model that fits your NREN's resources.
Contribute Capacity
Host media nodes within your own network. Improve latency for your local institutions while strengthening the entire federation.
- Requires dedicated hardware
- Lowest local latency
Shared Pool
Subscribe to the service using the shared media nodes hosted by WACREN and other contributing NRENs across the continent.
- Zero hardware required
- Immediate deployment
Autonomous
Run a fully independent eduMEET deployment for your country, managing your own orchestration layer and media nodes.
- Full operational control
- Highest resource requirement
Technical Onboarding
SSO Integration
Connect your identity provider. We support eduID.africa, BonafID, and standard SAML/OIDC.
Domain Setup
Configure DNS records to run the service under your own institutional domain name.
Firewall Rules
Open necessary UDP ports for WebRTC traffic and secure API endpoints.
Node Deployment
(Optional) Deploy the Docker containers on your local servers to contribute capacity.
