Beyond the Halls.
One identity-based platform powering the three networks, analytics, communications and automation behind the modern smart campus.
Four layers. One platform. All focused on your students.
From halls to lecture theatres and every café in between — Purple keeps your campus connected, safe, smart and conversational.
Three networks, one smart campus.
Every person on your campus gets the right connection the moment they arrive — staff, student, visitor or resident in halls. Identity-aware. Secure. Managed from one platform.
Passwordless, directory-synced access for everyone on campus.
Faculty, administrators and students connect securely without typing a password. Access is tied to your directory — when someone leaves, their access is revoked instantly. No loose credentials, no shared passwords, no forgotten onboarding.
Open-day visitors, contractors and event attendees — online in one tap.
No captive portals, no guessed passwords, no helpdesk queues. One-time authentication issues an encrypted WiFi Pass that just works — simple for them, secure for you, no IT overhead on the busiest days of the year.
A private network bubble that travels with every student.
Students in halls and accommodation create a Personal Area Group using iPSK. Their laptops, games consoles, smart speakers and TVs all join automatically — just like at home — while staying securely isolated from their neighbours.
Faster campus. Sharper students.
Shield is a DNS-layer ad blocker and AI threat filter that makes your campus network measurably faster, safer and less distracting — without any hardware changes.
Ad-blocking is a student success tool.
Every ad stripped at the DNS layer is bandwidth you get back, a page that loads quicker, and a distraction a student never sees. Combined with AI threat detection, Shield hardens campus networks without asking your IT team to rip and replace anything.
- Block ads, trackers and bloatware before they reach any device
- Faster browsing, happier students, better retention scores
- AI identifies threats up to 10 days ahead of standard blacklists
- Deployed in minutes at the DNS layer — zero new hardware
The direct channel to every student on campus.
We know when a student is on site, which building they're connected from, and how long they've been there. That presence turns into the right message at the right moment — through an app that's already their WiFi credential.
Drive students to the quiet bar when the library's full. Fill the coffee shop in the 10am gap. Put bums on seats at Friday's guest lecture. Not mass broadcast — targeted, presence-aware nudges that feel helpful, not spammy.
Understand student behaviour across the whole campus.
WiFi is the most reliable presence sensor you own. Purple turns every connection, dwell and movement into insight — from how full the library actually gets on a Tuesday to which students haven't shown up all week.
See how students actually move between halls, lecture theatres, libraries and social spaces. Plan catering, timetabling and estates around real data.
Measure which venues and services students actually use, and how engagement shifts across the academic year.
Spot students whose presence and attendance patterns have dropped. Trigger wellbeing outreach before retention becomes a problem.
The brain behind every decision.
Logicflow is the decision engine of the Purple platform — a visual, branching flow that turns any signal (a new connection, a dwell, a location, a directory attribute) into any action (a notification, an SMS, a splash page, a bandwidth rule). Build the journey once. The brain runs it forever.
Purple's Logicflow editor — visual branching automationsA first-time connection during Week 0 triggers a 5-touch welcome sequence across SMS and the Purple App.
Students still in the library past 10pm get pushed to break rooms and 24/7 coffee spots — and the wellbeing team gets a heatmap.
A prospect connects to Guest WiFi on an open day — Logicflow fires a follow-up sequence tailored to their course interest.
