The conversation

What your customer is dealing with right now.

Hardened staff WiFi that protects sensitive government data

Government operations handle sensitive data, and a breach carries serious consequences. Staff WiFi gives employees a secure, private network with advanced encryption, tied to identity rather than a shared password, and centralised management and monitoring.

Public guest WiFi that never touches the internal network

Many public buildings are open to residents and visitors, and need a separate, secure guest network that gives reliable access without compromising internal systems. A customisable portal keeps guest traffic fully isolated while staying compliant with data privacy regulations.

Digitally excluded residents the council can't easily reach

UK local authorities face budget pressures while demand for services keeps rising, and public WiFi is one of the most underused assets already in place. A branded portal helps identify who's being left behind, so digital inclusion support reaches residents who need it most.

Proven at one of the UK's most connected cities.

Newcastle City Council built a dark-fibre backbone linking 175 sites, then used Purple to deliver the city's public WiFi layer, from major thoroughfares and the Grainger Market to libraries, museums, and 40 Purple Hubs bringing connectivity to social housing. Newcastle sits alongside more than two dozen other UK and international local authorities already on Purple, including Manchester, Edinburgh, Brent, and Telford & Wrekin councils.
