“Our permanent students and staff have WiFi access but it wasn’t available to temporary visitors or the general public. We knew we needed to put such a service in place. Whether that’s summer school students needing access to educational resources or visitors to our museums wanting to access a venue map – all require an internet connection and we know The Cloud has the expertise to provide a reliable service that will boost the visitor experience at UCL.”

Mike Turpin, Head of Network Services – University College London
