More than 15,000 active devices can now concurrently access seamless connectivity at the Singapore Expo, following the venue’s upgrade of its Wi-Fi infrastructure.
Two high-speed fibre broadband connections and the most advanced wireless access points have been installed, among other enhancements, to all 10 exhibition halls at Singapore Expo and 32 meeting rooms at MAX Atria. Both are designed for optimal performance due to continuous operation, and workload generated from concurrently active devices.
Aloysius Arlando, CEO of SingEx Venues, said: “With Wi-Fimax, we now offer event organisers, exhibitors and delegates highly flexible and customisable Wi-Fi access; and not just limited to basic Wi-Fi services normally provided by some venues.”
Michael Lim, director of human resource and information technology, SingEx Holdings, said: “The system is part of an upgrade that extended the Wi-Fi service to cover both the entire Singapore Expo and MAX Atria. Only the MAX Atria was covered previously. Along with this upgrade, we are now able to deliver higher user densities and bandwidth.”
The complimentary Wi-Fi service is suitable for webmail, social media and normal Internet browsing. Event organisers who require higher bandwidth of over 2Mbps have the option to increase the bandwidth according to their requirements.
According to Lim, depending on the exact requirements such as bandwidth and the number of concurrent devices, the venue can work out a package for event organisers, which can be scaled accordingly.
