Case Study: Canterbury Cathedral achieves family-friendly, secure, legally compliant public WiFi with Purple WiFi

Canterbury Cathedral - Customer Case Study

Canterbury Cathedral wanted to offer free, family‑friendly public WiFi in its new Cathedral Café while ensuring legal compliance and protecting visitors from explicit or illegal content. To meet these needs they chose Purple and implemented the Purple WiFi platform as a secure Social WiFi solution.

Purple delivered its WiFi service with built‑in content filtering and Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) membership to block pornographic and illegal sites, enabling family‑friendly access and industry‑standard legal compliance. As a result, Canterbury Cathedral now offers secure, compliant café WiFi, and Purple reports that content filtering has blocked roughly 10% of public URL requests for its filtered customers, demonstrating measurable protection.
