Public‑Sector Wi‑Fi: The Reality Check

Public‑sector Wi‑Fi isn’t just another connectivity challenge—it’s a decade‑long commitment shaped by historic architecture, strict security mandates, and the scrutiny of taxpayer oversight. In this episode, we explore why government networks operate on “hard mode,” from projecting 21st‑century signals through 19th‑century limestone to designing systems that must remain fully functional even when completely offline. We break down the paradox of secure connectivity, the rise of shadow IT, the realities of long refresh cycles, and the growing need for data‑driven redesigns. If your mission is to deliver reliable digital public services, this episode reveals what it takes to build networks that can survive both bureaucracy and physics. This is a public episode.
