NOTE: European NRO != GÉANT participant (e.g. NORDUNET is one GÉANT participant represented by 5 NROs; GEANT org is GÉANT participant and not an NRNRO; Andorra, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Russia are not GÉANT participants but have European NROs)

Another means to track eduroam uptake is to measure usage of eduroam supporting tool CAT. The tool is used by IdPs (end-users institution) who configure their institution "profile", and ultimately by end-users who download eduroam installers for their device.
| GN4-1 start 1. May 2015 | GN4-1 end 30. April 2016 | |
|---|---|---|
| Number of IdPs in CAT tool | 880 | 1281 |
| Number of IdPs fully configured in the CAT tool | 699 | 1093 |
| Number of end-user downloads of installers from CAT tool | 1,682.377 * | 3.877.511* |

Support, operations and devops effort spent and planned
...
Caution: Reporting on spent manpower in GEANT projects is not conceptualised for easy and accurate tracking of spent manpower for different services and for different aspects of work on those services (ie what was spent on development, support or operations). For GN4-1, it comes down on how much individual person claimed under certain task. eduroam development and operations were performed under same task in GN4-1 and therefore its impossible to make such differentiation at this point.
| SA5 Task | Spent | Budget | Type of performed work |
|---|---|---|---|
| T7 - eduroam | 310.850,83 € | 335.333,74 € | eduroam development and operations |

Proposal for additional KPIs related to usage, uptake and costs
...
Although GN4-2 Technical Annex does not have details on target values for KPIs, we have projected the target based on the current rate of usage growth and expected changes in the market. It is expected that growth of eduroam will be slower than in previous years due to full coverage/use in many organisations, and the potential impact of the abolition of roaming data charges in the EU. Nonetheless, as eduroam delivers more value than simply cost of network access, growth is still expected.
