Smart City & Public Safety
Public Wi-Fi Networks
We design and deploy high-capacity outdoor Wi-Fi networks for cities, town centres, parks, and transport hubs — providing fast, free public internet access while simultaneously serving as backhaul infrastructure for smart city IoT sensors, CCTV, and digital signage.
What We Deliver
Public Wi-Fi Capabilities
Complete public wireless networks — from coverage planning through hardware deployment, captive portal, analytics, and network management.
Outdoor Wi-Fi 6 Networks
High-capacity Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E outdoor access points deployed on existing street furniture — lampposts, buildings, and smart columns — providing dense coverage in busy public spaces.
Captive Portal & Branding
Branded splash page login experience for public users — social login, email registration, terms acceptance, and sponsored access options for council or retail branding.
Visitor Analytics
Anonymised visitor presence analytics — footfall counts, dwell times, visitor origins, and repeat visit rates — valuable intelligence for town centre management and retail.
Smart City IoT Backhaul
Using the public Wi-Fi network infrastructure to provide backhaul for CCTV cameras, environmental sensors, smart lighting controllers, and parking sensors — maximising infrastructure value.
Network Management Platform
Centralised wireless network management — monitoring access point status, throughput, user counts, and interference — with automated alerting for fault detection.
Security & Filtering
Network-level content filtering, malware blocking, and DNS security — protecting public users from threats while ensuring compliance with acceptable use policies.
How We Work
Our Public Wi-Fi Deployment Process
From coverage design through live network — deploying public wireless infrastructure that performs in the demanding outdoor urban environment.
Coverage Planning & Survey
RF propagation planning for target outdoor areas — predicting coverage from candidate access point locations and identifying infrastructure attachment points.
Network Architecture
Designing backhaul connectivity, controller architecture, and network segmentation — separating public user traffic from IoT and operational traffic securely.
Pilot Deployment
Deploying to a pilot area — validating coverage, throughput, captive portal, and IoT backhaul performance before city-wide rollout.
City-Wide Installation
Staged access point installation across the full coverage area — coordinating with councils, utilities, and landlords for mounting permissions and power supply.
Portal & Analytics Configuration
Configuring the captive portal, branding, analytics platform, and IoT backhaul services — with testing of all user and operational flows.
Network Operations
Ongoing network monitoring, fault response, performance optimisation, and capacity upgrades as the network grows.
Why SharpLogic
Why cities choose us for public Wi-Fi
Dual-purpose infrastructure
Public Wi-Fi networks designed from the start to serve smart city IoT — a single infrastructure investment delivering public connectivity and smart city backhaul.
Visitor analytics value
Footfall data from Wi-Fi device presence analytics that town centre teams, BIDs, and retailers use to measure footfall and plan interventions.
Robust outdoor performance
Hardware selected for the outdoor urban environment — IP68 rated, vandal-resistant, and performing in extreme temperatures and weather.
Flexible funding models
Public Wi-Fi networks funded through advertising, sponsorship, or as public infrastructure — working with cities to find the right funding model.
