Guest WiFi for Schools & College Campuses
A campus that knows where you're going.
Secure, POPIA-compliant WiFi for students, staff and visitors — over the access points you already own, from the team behind 430+ South African venues. Staff sign in with the school account they already have. Every residence gets a private network, so the consoles and smart devices campus networks usually turn away all connect. And the same login can do more — on match day, the visiting team is welcomed by name.
What are you here to solve?
Four ways into schools & colleges. Pick the one that sounds like your week.
The campus WiFi Purple already proves
On Purple: up to 80% fewer WiFi helpdesk tickets, staff access from the school accounts you already run, and private networks for the devices shared halls can't otherwise connect — proven across 80,000+ venues.
Staff sign in with the account they already have
Teachers and staff connect through the school's own directory — Google or Microsoft. Access ends the day the contract does, automatically.
Every residence gets a private network
One key per dorm or department (iPSK) — the consoles, smart TVs and lab kit eduroam refuses all connect, isolated from each other.
Visitors get a lane, never the network
A branded portal signs parents, contractors and visiting teams in with POPIA consent — the guest lane stays sealed off from school systems.
Safeguarding-ready browsing
Shield blocks adult and objectionable content before it loads and enforces safe search — and we arrange Friendly WiFi certification with it.
Rooms that report their own use
Occupancy analytics show which study rooms and labs are actually used — real numbers for timetabling and space decisions.
And the same login can do more than connect. Step inside for ten seconds.
The ten seconds your student never notices.
Saturday, 09:45 — the visiting team arrives.
A player from the other school connects at the gate. The fixture list already knows why they're here — U15C, kick-off at 11 — so the welcome does too: good luck, change rooms left of the pavilion, tuck-shop pre-orders until 10:30. Consent captured, guest lane only.
A student, recognised — and guided.
Recognised on connect, no re-login. Beyond can wire the timetable and room bookings to that same identity — so directions, today's menu and a free study room are one question away.
The leak finds the engineer.
A role-scoped alert: the leak on a map, the schematics, the nearest shut-off valve — handled before the corridor floods. Access ends when the contract does.
Your student never noticed the tech. Your team never lifted a finger.
Up to 80% fewer WiFi tickets, every dorm device connected, and a campus that answers its own questions — over the hardware you already own.
Deployed, integrated and supported on the ground
Beyond runs and supports live WiFi estates across South Africa — deployed, integrated and kept POPIA-compliant on the ground, not from a call centre in another timezone. Your schools run on the same team that keeps 430+ venues online.
Across our estates we've delivered 11.9M+ guest logins and 1.9M+ POPIA-compliant opt-in records — first-party data that turns a login into a relationship.
Built on Purple — the platform trusted by some of the world's biggest brands, proven across 80,000+ venues in 90+ countries. We make that foundation yours.
The campus concierge — what we can wire
The campus that answers
Beyond can wire the login to the systems the campus already runs — timetable, room booking, the cafeteria menu — so the network answers the questions the front office repeats all day.
A different welcome per role
The same connection can serve each person what their role allows: the student their own timetable, the teacher the resource calendar, maintenance the schematics — and nothing more.
The school's brain stays at the school
Where safeguarding demands it, the intelligence can run on-premise — the campus's data under the campus's roof.
Who, why, where — answered before they ask
The network can know who's arriving, why they're here and where they're headed. Beyond can wire that to the systems the school already runs — the fixture list, the tuck shop, the payments app parents already use, Karri or whatever runs yours — so the welcome answers the morning's actual question.
Your student information system, your timetable and your access points all stay. Purple overlays the network you already run — and we wire into what's there.

Frequently asked
Can it connect games consoles and smart TVs in residences?
Yes — each residence gets its own private network key (iPSK), so consoles, TVs and speakers connect straight away, without a login page, invisible to the room next door.
Is it safe for a school?
Guest and student traffic run isolated from staff systems, Shield filters adult and objectionable content before it loads, safe search is enforced — and we arrange Friendly WiFi certification, so the campus can display a recognised family-safe badge.
Will it actually cut our helpdesk load?
Campuses on this stack see up to 80% fewer WiFi tickets — passwordless staff onboarding and per-residence keys remove the two biggest ticket sources.
What happens when a staff member leaves?
Their WiFi access is tied to the school directory, so it ends the day the account does — no shared password to change, nothing to remember.
Do visiting teams and parents touch the school network?
No — visitors get an isolated guest lane with its own consented welcome. School systems never share a network with a visitor's phone.
