The best WiFi network for student accomodation

The history of WiFi within student residences is inseparable from that of Wifirst. Since 2002, students have needed fast, reliable WiFi to be available at all times. To meet this requirement, Wifirst developed a technical solution that we call the Wibox, a device deployed at each site that guarantees the highest quality of service, which is especially important during peak hours. Wifirst has embraced the evolution of WiFi standards and continues to research and develop new and innovative deployment methods to ensure we provide the very best service possible.

With the development of our core network, we connect the majority of our customers with Wifirst Fibre Leased Line services, meaning you don’t have to juggle multiple vendors. We are a single provider for all your WiFi and Data Line needs. This extensive history has led us to become a class leader in high-density WiFi networks for the student accommodation market.

Managed WiFi is at the heart of student accommodation

A pioneer of managed WiFi, or “WiFi as a Service”, Wifirst provides unparalleled support to student housing managers to ensure your investment into WiFi connectivity goes well beyond its primary use. Our primary goal is to build a foundation for you to power all of your digital needs through a robust and secure network infrastructure.

Our student WiFi works just like when you’re at home

Wifirst provides students with their own private network to replicate a connection experience just like at home. All of their devices (smartphones, computers, games consoles, smart TVs, Chromecast, printers, connected watches, connected speakers, etc.) can seamlessly connect to a private WiFi network and communicate with each other.

Wifirst calls this feature the Room Area Network and developed it to be accessible throughout the entire building, so students always remain connected to their digital world.
