<p>Parliament already has a single wireless network. However, this can appear to be
a number of different ones when viewing the WiFi available on estate. This is due
to it being segmented into a number of logical virtual networks. This is designed
to enable effective cyber security management depending on the end user connecting.
For example, guests on the Parliamentary Estate and users of non-Parliamentary devices
computers are asked to manually enter an ID and password. However, Members and users
of Parliamentary-issued devices automatically connect to the network. PDS plan to
rationalise the number of WiFi networks visible on the Parliamentary estate over the
course of 2018, the intent being to reduce the number visible to the minimum viable
to meet cyber security requirements.</p>
