Elements of the media may be determined to drive everyone into recession but this year’s Showman’s Show took no notice, growing in size and having an upbeat feel to it. Etherlive were both exhibiting at the show and providing services to Fonix LED. Over a highly ‘congested’ site in terms of radio spectrum use, including numerous ad-hoc Wi-Fi hotspots and a site mesh network, we ran multiple video streams, three CCTV cameras, a VoIP service and localised web hosting. This all builds on our approach of ‘business class wireless’, using extensive knowledge and experience to deliver high quality, high capacity services.

The show was a great success for us, with lots of interest in our newer services such as real-time location tracking, video streaming and event portals on handheld devices. Thanks to everyone who stopped by the stand for a chat and if you couldn’t make the show check out our website for further information on our latest services.

Green Man goes Interactive  

Music festival uses cutting edge technology to reduce costs and deploy new interactive services 

Powys, August 15, 2008 – etherLive Event Services are providing the Green Man festival attendees and event organisation team with new technology services during the 10,000 attendee event in August to increase interaction whilst reducing infrastructure cost. The services will be used to publish a live event schedule to ticket holders through their mobile phone whilst also enabling the event organisation team to use office networking including printing and internet services. 

Attendees are able to interact with a live schedule whilst checking their Facebook profile and uploading photos, all for free. Using interactive services keeps attendees engaged and enables them to keep up to date with line up changes and announcements. 

Event staff are continuing to work in a normal connected office environment despite being in the middle of a field thanks to wireless connectivity. Cable runs are being reduced whilst improving productivity.

New wireless survey tool you say? Check. Every wondered what the world looks like in the wireless spectrum? We can tell you, albeit through the use of a laptop screen (no holodeck capability yet I’m afraid)

Our new toolset can take readings as we walk around any site and report back. The tool highlights wireless signal issues with a simple colour code system. In most cases simple changes to the network can dramatically improve performance.

How’s your wireless network performing? (hint: If you have to hold your laptop in the air to get a signal it’s not great) use the contact form and we can pop over and have a look
