Advizex Networking's Innovative Wi-Fi Redesign
Advizex Networking's Innovative Wi-Fi Redesign
One of America’s largest convention centers came to us with a problem. They have over a million square feet of exhibition space, a lot of meeting rooms, multiple ballrooms, a large arena, and thousands of daily visitors. That’s a lot of area for a Wi-Fi infrastructure to handle, and theirs wasn’t keeping up.
The Challenge
As the number of visitors bringing mobile devices and connecting to Wi-Fi increased, the outdated network just couldn't meet the demand. Visitors experienced connectivity issues and complained to the venue. Rather than simply replacing the equipment, the convention center decided to completely rethink the design to better address the underlying issue.
Advizex's Approach
When the convention center came to us, we developed a strategic approach to future-proof their infrastructure:
- Thorough Assessment: The first step was an in-depth assessment of the venue’s layout, needs, and trouble points.
- Custom Solution Design: Due to the unique needs of the venue, we recommended a personalized solution rather than using generic industry standards.
- Cutting-Edge Technology: The team proposed implementing Wi-Fi 6E technology to increase capacity, lower latency, and offer greater reliability.
- Budget Optimization: We worked closely with the client to get them the best new features while staying within budget.
The Solution
Advizex's networking team completely redesigned the Wi-Fi network at the convention center. We wanted to solve their current issues while also leaving room for future growth. Key points of the solution included:
- Implementation of Wi-Fi 6E technology to improve performance
- Optimization of coverage through strategic placement of new equipment
- Utilization of scalable infrastructure to better support future needs and technological advancements
Results and Benefits
Replacing the outdated solution made a massive difference in the convention center’s connectivity experience. The benefits included:
- Seamless Connectivity: High-performance Wi-Fi is now available throughout the massive venue with no reliability issues.
- Increased Capacity: Even with thousands of devices connected across various devices, the network has no trouble handling the load.
- Future-Proofing: Upgrades can be made easily should technology evolve or the number of users increase significantly.
- Enhanced User Satisfaction: The venue noticed a drastic reduction in guest complaints and an increase in overall satisfaction scores.
- Competitive Edge: The venue’s top-tier connectivity now gives them an additional selling point for hosting large-scale events.
