The project will provide Oldham Council
network connectivity and TV media solution for the 6 Family Hub
sites in order to:
• Provide secure Wi-Fi for council staff to enable them to
access council systems across the Family Hubs sites.
• Provide public Wi-Fi for visitors across the Family Hub
sites to enable them to use their devices to register for Family
Hubs whilst on site, and to access the information recommended to
them by Family Hubs staff, on site.
• Ensure that the solution accommodates flexible and reliable
internet access to support media broadcasting and general site
usage.
• Enable TVs and monitors at the sites to display media
content (e.g., videos, timetables) with flexible remote updating
capabilities.
These facilities are currently not available through the Northern
Care Alliance wi-fi network in the Family Hubs.
