Wifi Revolution

Xirrus, Inc., provider of long-range Wi-Fi products and Wireless Events Ltd. have teamed up to deploy a Wi-Fi network at several music and arts festivals across the United Kingdom. They will offer voice and data services at the venue for the artists, production staff, merchants and attendees.

 

Xirrus and Wireless Events have already deployed a Wi-Fi network at the Glastonbury Festival, Latitude, The Big Chill and Rise and have plans to lend their expertise at Leeds and Reading Carling Festivals as well as at the V2008 Music Festivals in Chelmsford and Weston Park. 

 

The site-wide campus networks, developed by Wireless Events Ltd., offers indoor and outdoor Internet access and telephony services utilizing Quality of Service (QoS) features. Thousands of users benefit from the network throughout the event. Thanks to the networks, the festival location turns into a self-reliant town with adequate telephony and Internet access services.

 

"The Xirrus Wi-Fi Arrays performed well within our network providing reliable coverage and capacity for all the different groups utilizing it," said Chris Beale, managing director of Wireless Events Ltd. "We integrated voice and data services across our telecommunications network from a variety of networking equipment makers. Xirrus was the only Wi-Fi solution which reduced our deployment overhead."
