Reading as IT & network

Local Government WiFi your network team can defend.

One flat network carrying guests, staff and payments is the risk you inherited, not the one you chose. Segmentation, passwordless onboarding and evidence on demand — over the access points you already own.

The load you're carrying

An open civic network with no filtering, right next to a library full of children.

Guest, staff and payment traffic on provably separate lanes, with the audit trail already written.

What Beyond adds — the art of the possible

Wired into the systems you already run

SecurePass

Recognition that does something

Purple proves the returning student, member or visitor is here. Beyond can wire that verified reconnection into your student, library or council records — so they connect without filling the form in again, and the filtering their age or role requires is applied before the first page loads.

Data Sovereignty

Intelligence that stays yours

Purple lets you host where compliance demands — on-premise, private cloud or hybrid, with native GDPR / POPIA / CCPA. Beyond can run the localised intelligence layer on that same sovereign hosting, so the answers your venue holds stay wherever you decide to put them, reserved for the people actually there.

Private Room Networks (iPSK)

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.

Where it lands

Five zones, five owners

The same five zones the city map shows for your site — and the department that owns each one.

Zone 01

Campus entrance

On match day, the visiting team connects at the gate already knowing kick-off time and where to go.

Owned by Front office

Zone 02

Lecture halls

Density that holds when four hundred devices arrive in one minute.

Owned by IT & network

Zone 03

Halls of residence

A private, at-home network in every room, all on one WiFi network.

Owned by Residential ops

Zone 04

Library & study

An open public space kept safe — and finally measurable.

Owned by Safeguarding

Zone 05

Estates & IT

The helpdesk ticket that never gets raised because the login just worked.

Owned by Estates

Purple's global reach

Proven platform, deployed by people you can meet in person

Purple runs the guest WiFi for some of the biggest names in retail, banking, hospitality and sport. Beyond's own team deploys it, integrates it and supports it from South Africa. Your local government run on that team.
