Large public venues
For large-scale events, reliable connectivity is essential. Organisers highlighted that communications, streaming and digital interactions all depend on a high-performing network infrastructure.
Working with RUCKUS, ADDIX delivers and operates the wireless infrastructure that helps keep event experiences running smoothly while enabling rapid deployment and operation.
The Challenge: Supporting a connected event experience
Wireless connectivity has become a fundamental requirement for modern events. Visitors expect to stay connected, while organisers depend on reliable communications and digital services throughout the event.
For Kiel’s major sailing events, delivering that experience requires infrastructure capable of supporting dense crowds while maintaining dependable performance. Event organisers stated that the live event experience would not be possible without a high-performing network.
The Solution: Wireless infrastructure built for high-density environments
ADDIX deployed and operates a RUCKUS-based wireless infrastructure connected to the available fibre network. The deployment provides the capacity required for a large public event environment while allowing the ADDIX team to manage the infrastructure directly.
The solution uses RUCKUS BeamFlex® technology to help direct wireless coverage towards the areas where connectivity is needed, supporting users across the event site.
“Communication is crucial for events like the Ocean Race. RUCKUS supports us enormously, because, without such a reliable partner, we would have no chance of delivering the event in this way. Communication can make or break the event.”
