Airzonebroadband has used leading-edge wireless technology
to solve the problem of keeping 10,000 scouts safe at the Eurojam
event in woodlands near Chelmsford. Organisers of the 10-day camp for
scouts from across Europe had faced crippling costs to provide communication
lines for the high-tech event in Hylands Park from 29th of July. |
We have provided a 10 Mb wireless internet system
giving broadband access five times faster than normal broadband. The only
cable required was from the mast into the local network at the camp headquarters
in the depths of the park. "Wireless communications are the future and
we provide them today, not just for business clients but ordinary households
and now for 10,000 scouts from all over Europe," says Airzone MD, Rob
Cleminson. |

The standard communications system involving phone
lines would have required an extensive and expensive installation. "Our
solution was to set up a wireless link from Canary Wharf in London to
Brentwood, then to a site in Writtle, and on to Hylands Park, with a corresponding
link to an assembly area for the 10,000 visitors at North Weald airfield,"
explains Rob. " the maximum jump for the signal is almost 22 miles" |
| The 10 Mb wireless system allows the organisers
to share information quickly, efficiently, and effectively between the
sites - a distance of 15 miles, keeping track of the movements of the
army of scouts. "The organisers are absolutely delighted that the system
is up and running before the main event even begins," says the Airzone
boss. "Wireless networking is most definitely the way ahead " |
 |
 |
The system is providing a broadband
speed of 10 Mb allowing the scouts to operate a Voice Over IP telephone
system between the sites, and to synchronise data between North Weald
and Hylands Park, and providing a high speed internet access which will
be available to the scouts at an internet cafe and to the administration
departments. |
The scouts will start to arrive on Friday 29th of
July and be booked into the assembly area on the North Weald airfield.
The visitors will board coaches to take them to Hylands Park and then
be tracked on to site to ensure that everyone arrives safely. Airzonebroadband
provides an ultra-fast system far in excess of the 10 Mb required by the
Eurojam organisers. |

For the more technically minded : We have delivered a 10Mb SDSL using 5.8
GHz Point to Point radio links from London to Hylands Park over 3 hops
with a backup Line installed at Hylands Park (a 4 x 2Mb ADSL lines which
are bonded together to give 8 Mb Down 1Mb Up) |
