Purple is focused on creating a world where connectivity is seamless, secure, and available everywhere. Our recent webinar broke down exactly how the city of Newcastle Upon Tyne is leading this transformation through a landmark public-private partnership.

The captive portal isn't just aging; it's being actively taken down, piece by piece, by the very companies that make the devices connecting to it. The pop-up login screen is no longer a minor inconvenience; it's a fundamental flaw in a system that's rapidly being replaced. For IT professionals and venue operators, ignoring this shift isn't an option.

New approach eliminates barriers, empowering venues to join the global OpenRoaming™ network and deliver seamless, secure WiFi.

Mobile data isn't killing public WiFi, bad user experiences are. In this piece, we dismantle the arguments against seamless connectivity. Learn why 5G still struggles indoors, how "unlimited" plans are shrinking, and how Purple’s certificate-based security outperforms open networks. Most importantly, find out how you can ditch the login form and still gain higher-quality, compliant customer data.

For years, providing Guest WiFi has been a balancing act of bad options. On one side, you had open networks with a shared password—easy for users, but a security nightmare riddled with legal risks for you. On the other hand, you had the captive portal: a friction-filled gateway that, despite its data-gathering benefits, created a frustrating experience for visitors, made even worse by modern privacy features like MAC address randomization.

For over a decade, we've evolved our captive portals to be the best in the world. But now? We're leaving them behind in favor of secure and seamless connectivity, everywhere. And it all starts with one unified app: Purple ConneX.

Purple is on a mission to make WiFi secure, seamless, and everywhere. In our recent "Free the Internet" webinar, we broke down exactly how we are achieving our global mission to improve how people connect in the real world.
