Secure FalconNet

FalconNet is the University of Montevallo’s secure, enterprise-grade wireless network. We have over 1000 Ruckus Wireless Access Points deployed across campus and along Main Street in downtown Montevallo.

Students, Faculty and Staff device connections may be established by using a UM username and password to authenticate and download an SSL certificate to the device.

Visitors to campus may connect their devices by passing a verification process with either an email or phone number.

UMGaming is an open network intended for game consoles, streaming media devices, and various devices that are unable to connect using the more secure protocols. Connections are established by authenticating with a UM username and password and entering the device’s Wi-Fi MAC Address.
