St George's Healthcare NHS Trust
Seamless connectivity for patients and visitors at a major NHS hospital.
Challenge, solution, result.
NHS Digital mandated that all NHS sites in England have fully compliant WiFi by the end of 2018, meeting strict criteria for functionality, resilience, and security.
Purple deployed a cloud-based software overlay onto St George's existing Cisco wireless network, providing quick guest authentication, content filtering, and enterprise-grade reporting, with custom NHS-branded splash pages.
The Trust met the mandate cheaply, as a software overlay rather than a hardware replacement, while capturing patient feedback and promoting the hospital charity through the splash screens.
What Purple delivered.
