Network Connectivity and TV for Oldham Family Hubs Sites

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.
