Providing Wireless Coverage for 25,000 Visitors at Gillingham and Shaftesbury Show
- 1. Gillingham and Shaftesbury Show Case Lee Barnfield Director of Sales ONE UK
- 2. What were the customers needs? Requirement for complete wireless coverage. Provide Wi-Fi to over 25,000 visitors in one day. Provide Wi-Fi to over 500 Stall holders, bars, cafés & VIP lounges. Provide separate secure networks for the organisers, press, stall holders & general admission public. Secure wireless internet access for the public. To gather analytical data for future events.
- 3. How did we satisfy those needs? Installed & bonded 3 temporary broadband lines through our wholesale provider & own router configuration. Use the 4G network and satellite system for redundancy. Completed a full site survey for wireless coverage across the entire 35 acre site. Project co-ordinator worked with the organisers ensuring planning was in place for pole positions, power. Location planning of large agricultural vehicles that would be in place for the show that potentially would compromise the Wireless AP’s ability to broadcast.
- 4. Equipment we used TTB ADSL connectivity VPN Gateway 4G router for Redundancy Wireless access points using mesh technology Strategically trenched cable runs to minimise any performance issue of overwhelmed AP’s. 60mbps/18mbps satellite broadband
- 7. The Results Organisers able to update website and social media throughout the day uninterrupted. Local Press online and reporting back to HQ, blogging and reporting on the days events. Stall holders cloud based PoS units and EFT working throughout the day enabling them to do Business. General Admission and ticket holders able to get online in a streamlined, non intrusive fashion but protecting the WISP (Show organisers) from any illegal traffic putting them at risk.
- 8. Testimonial We invited ONE UK to deliver a Wi-Fi solution to 23,000 visitors, over 500 trade stand holders and VIP lounges without risking the corporate network. There engineers arrived on time and carried out surveys & on the day before the event they arrived to install the equipment & get the WiFi up & running. On the day of the event we had no complaints, in-fact the majority of the people were surprised that we had internet access in the middle of a field! The success of the show we feel fell on the success of the internet access, to this we are eternally grateful to ONE UK for their advice and support. I have no hesitation in recommending ONE UK to other businesses. Sam Braddick Event organiser
