MANCHESTER, UK - Purple, the global guest, staff and multi-tenant WiFi and analytics platform, has been selected by Essex County Council to provide connectivity across 170 venues, under a seven-year agreement delivered alongside partner MLL Telecom. Purple's Capture and Shield products will be deployed across the estate.
The rollout gives residents and visitors free, secure WiFi across council sites right across Essex, supporting digital inclusion by helping remove some of the barriers that keep people from participating in an increasingly digital society. Purple's Shield adds content filtering for safe access, while the anonymised insight generated through the networks gives the council a clearer understanding of how its places are actually used.
A seven-year term is about as strong a statement of confidence as a public sector customer can make, and the win adds to Purple's growing momentum across the public sector, following its place on the UK Government's G-Cloud 15 framework.
"A seven-year commitment across 170 sites is about as strong a statement of confidence as a public sector customer can make. It puts Purple at the heart of connectivity right across Essex, delivered alongside MLL Telecom. It's a landmark public sector win and a genuinely long-term partnership."
- Iain Fox, VP Growth, Public Sector, Purple
