Blue Coat appliances will be used by the WLAN at this event to optimize the delivery of this video to the Wi-Fi users attending the event and enhance their viewing experience.
Collaborating with its technology partner Kaspersky Labs, Blue Coat appliances will also offer malware and antivirus protection to protect users using the WLAN.
