Purple delivers robust, high-bandwidth coverage that handles every resident's devices, with a one-tap login simple enough for any ability.
A secure staff network for care records and apps
Care home staff rely on WiFi for electronic health records, communicating with colleagues, and care-management applications.
Purple gives staff a separate, secure, high-performing network so care records, comms, and applications run without interruption.

Frequently asked
How does Purple keep resident, staff, and visitor WiFi separate?
Purple runs residents, staff, and visitors on separate networks using distinct VLANs or SSIDs, so care records and clinical systems stay isolated from resident and guest traffic - secure by design.
Is the resident WiFi easy enough for less tech-confident residents?
Yes. Residents get a simple one-time login and stay connected automatically afterwards, so even less tech-confident residents can video-call family and stream without help.
Can we filter content to keep residents safe online?
Purple includes content filtering, so you can keep the resident network safe and appropriate while still giving full, open access to the services residents rely on.
Will the network handle lots of devices and video calls at once?
Purple is built for high-density environments and supports tiered bandwidth, so multiple residents can video-call, stream, and use smart devices at the same time without slowdowns.
Does Purple work with our existing network hardware?
Purple is hardware-agnostic and works with Cisco Meraki, Aruba, Ruckus, Ubiquiti, and most enterprise access points via a standard captive portal or RADIUS, so there is no need to replace your infrastructure.
