<p>Over the last few weeks the Digital Service has been working closely with our 3rd
party providers to resolve issues relating to providing consistent connectivity to
the internet direct/WMID WiFi services. Monitoring of the WiFi service has confirmed
that the solution has stabilised and consistent connections have been achieved. Further
WiFi improvement work is planned, working in conjunction with our providers.</p><p>The
Digital Service is delivering a major investment programme for Parliament’s network;
this is addressing issues around speed, resilience and most importantly security when
accessing internet based services. As part of this programme, improvements to WiFi
availability are being rolled out across the estate by installing additional WiFi
access points. Members' areas have been prioritised, with some already completed and
the rest (mainly Portcullis House and Palace of Westminster) will be completed by
the end of June 2018.</p><p>Further targeted improvements across the estate, forming
part of the infrastructure transformation programme, are being scoped including WiFi
optimisation and efficiencies. These improvements are scheduled to conclude by February
2019.</p>
