The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has purchased Xirrus Wi-Fi Arrays, Management System and Security Modules for deployment throughout the International Conference Centre Geneva (CICG). Xirrus will enable ITU to support a worldwide conference expected to attract more than 2,000 participants in October 2007.

 

Pradeep Prasad, head Infrastructure Division, International Telecommunication Union said that their company chose Xirrus because they were best able to meet the rigorous requirements to support their upcoming conferences. Prasad expects the capacity, coverage and upgradeability to 802.11n will enable ITU to deploy a scalable, long-lasting Wi-Fi infrastructure at the CICG.

 

“We are excited to be deployed at such an historic location as the International Conference Center in Geneva,” said John DiGiovanni, regional director of sales and marketing for EMEA at Xirrus in a statement.

 

DiGiovanni points out that they were able to provide them with the equipment they needed for a future-proof Wi-Fi network and expressed their company’s commitment to deliver the most technologically advanced and powerful Wi-Fi solution worldwide.

 

The state-of-the-art Wi-Fi network is designed by Wireless LAN Source, Xirrus' pan-European partner. The network will support the users that frequent the CICG and will utilize many of Xirrus' advanced features, including its patent-pending Sharp Cell technology. The company is currently preparing and installing the Xirrus Wi-Fi network. The installation and cabling support is provided by Sedelec SA.

 

Ben Wilson, commercial director at Wireless LAN Source said that they designed a fully manageable and high-performing Wi-Fi network for the CICG, ensuring the network will be able to support the thousands of users that utilize the landmark facility.

 

“Xirrus has a proven track record of deploying in large-scale, high-density locations like the CICG, and we are honored to be a part of this deployment,” he added.
