“Thanks to Zyxel’s solution, we were able to offer quality, stable WiFi service with good bandwidth. This allowed the use of POS terminals without problems via WiFi, as well as the proper functioning of QR code ticket validation during the festival.”

Summary

Organizers needed highly resistant network infrastructure that could provide secure connectivity for the festival’s multimedia and lighting equipment as well as the digital services and mobile point-of-sale terminals of stall and food truck owners. Complicating matters was that the devices being used came from various brands, which had caused significant compatibility issues in previous years.
NiNivaX Consulting recommended Zyxel's Nebula cloud networking solution and deployed USG FLEX 700 firewalls, NWA210AX WiFi 6 access points, and XGS1930-28 and GS1920-8HP smart managed switches. As well as high performance and smooth compatibility, Nebula provided an easy way to set up internet, wireless, and satellite backup connections to ensure no service interruptions – even during heavy rain. And, because the solution is cloud-based, NiNivaX can remotely manage it for 24/7/365 support. With the new infrastructure, organizers said adios to the interference to sound and light equipment caused by their previous, outdated WiFi solution. And just as importantly, the uninterrupted and highly secure connections gave peace of mind to the festival’s vendors. The success of the new network has even given organizers the confidence to offer their services and hold other events anywhere, anytime.
