Ruckus Wireless Deploys Wi-Fi Network at Goodwood Racecourse
Published on:
Ruckus Wireless has been selected by Etherlive, to provide Wi-Fi equipment to support the communications infrastructure across Goodwood, home of the world famous racecourse and motor-racing circuit.
The Ruckus Smart Wi-Fi equipment is being used throughout the estate. This includes The Goodwood Hotel, the motor circuit and racecourse, and Goodwood House itself.
The network will allow those attending the event access to social media through a network splash page which asks for their email in return providing Goodwood with a contact list of all those who use the service. The deployment is also designed to be commercially practical, enabling the use of Wi-Fi chip & pin terminals for transactions and the management of networked pay-gates.
Up to 40 Ruckus Wireless access points have been deployed to cover a range of locations across the estate. Indoor sections of the estate have been equipped with Ruckus ZoneFlex 7962 dual-band 802.11n enterprise-class access points. The provision of the outdoor Wi-Fi network will be supported by a mixture of both ZoneFlex 7762, concurrent dual-band (2.4/ 5Ghz) 802.11n access points and ZoneFlex 7731's, which are based on the 802.11n standard and operate within the 5GHz band.
Ann Stupple, IT Director at Goodwood, said: "We have continued to work with Etherlive because of its technical expertise and experience in the provision of Wi-Fi to live outdoor events and large venues. The deployment of their extension to our core network has enabled us to implement a large scale Wi-Fi network that will meet the needs of our corporate and consumer customers, as well as improve internal communications."
