Libraries WiFi that lifts work off your team.
Every password reset, portal complaint and "is the WiFi down?" call is time someone could have spent on the work you actually hired them for. The network should answer those before they reach a human.
No one on staff to configure, maintain or troubleshoot a network.
The tickets that never get raised, and the faults you see before anyone phones about them.
What already works for operations & facilities
Content filtering and passwordless onboarding, with one console across every site.
Wired into the systems you already run
Bolt-ons that pay their way
Purple’s Paid WiFi, Insight Surveys and AI Shield are real revenue, research and safety layers. Beyond can wire them into your systems — one question at the login that tells you what a student, reader or resident actually came in for, routed to the person who can act on it, and filtering that meets your safeguarding duty by default rather than by policy document.
What we do with it
We wrote our own HMAC-signed client for Purple’s Company API and run it in production — webhooks for live capture, plus a nightly sweep that reconciles whatever the stream missed. Every outbound message passes one consent gate, so POPIA is enforced in the send path rather than on the policy page.
A key that knows the booking
Purple gives every hall room, lab and department its own private network. Beyond can tie that key’s whole life to your student and staff records — created at enrolment or on a first day, closed when the term or the contract ends, so a shared password is never what stands between a device and the network.
Five zones, five owners
The same five zones the city map shows for your site — and the department that owns each one.
