As public sector organisations modernise, the quality and security of their internet access supports collaboration, efficiency and service delivery. GovWifi is a government-sponsored WiFi service that provides secure and simple internet access at public sector locations. Wifinity already provides the service for the Ministry of Defence (MOD) and can provide networks throughout the public sector.
Employees, contractors and visitors register once and connect automatically in any networked building. This cuts multiple logins and provides a seamless user experience across local authority town halls, government offices, NHS trusts, emergency services and other public sites supporting cross government collaboration and hybrid working.
Why Choose GovWifi?
GovWifi provides a single login for users to connect automatically across thousands of public sector locations, saving users login time and frustration. Users log in once and stay connected across multiple sites, improving productivity.
Moreover, organisations do not need to duplicate guest and corporate networks, and in doing so, save management effort and infrastructure costs. There are further cost savings when you factor in the reduced workload saved by centrally managed authentication, along with fewer password reset requests.
