Utrecht, – NS has introduced Publicroam at its offices, (maintenance) locations, and 83 stations. With this step, NS is opting for a high security standard for Wi-Fi access at locations where employees and travelers spend time.
Secure Wi-Fi access for employees
Every day, thousands of NS employees work at stations and work locations. By choosing Publicroam, NS ensures that employees can automatically and securely connect to Wi-Fi with their own devices. This additional Wi-Fi network offers a simple login procedure and minimal risks of digital interception or data leaks. This also keeps private devices and data secure during daily use.
Access for travelers at specific locations
At locations where travelers stay a bit longer, such as Station Lounges, Publicroam also offers visitors a simple and privacy-friendly way to go online. Travelers sign up for free once and then connect automatically at participating locations. Publicroam thus replaces a specific part of the existing Wi-Fi provision and is explicitly not a national or universally available traveler Wi-Fi.
Simple, secure, and privacy-friendly
With Publicroam, NS is choosing a Wi-Fi solution that meets high security standards and is based on privacy by design. Users are not tracked and do not have to leave personal data at every new location. This aligns the solution with how NS approaches digital security and reliability in other parts of its services.
“For NS, secure digital access is primarily important for our employees. At the same time, we think it makes sense for travelers to be able to get online easily and securely in places where they spend time, such as StationsHuiskamers. With Publicroam, we organize this in a controlled and privacy-friendly way.”
NS
“NS is making a down-to-earth and well-considered choice here by deploying secure Wi-Fi access where it is actually used. This fits exactly with how Publicroam is intended: as a secure standard in public and workspaces, with privacy and ease of use as the starting point.”
