Introduction

This project sought to enable public sector staff and elected members to quickly and easily get online wherever in London’s public sector estate they may be working.

It was intended to reduce wasted time, increase productivity and remove barriers to collaborative and multi-agency working, including in cases of emergency response. It was part of LOTI’s broader ambition to enable hypermobility of public sector staff and elected members and aligns with LOTI’s Sharing and Reusing workstream.

The project started in July 2019. Since then 8 LOTI boroughs implemented GovWifi and Govroam as standard networks. The challenge of getting all boroughs to implement the networks has helped inform the design of our subsequent projects.
