Case 3

A collection of temporary networks built as part of the Glastonbury Festival each year since 2007. Making use of multiple ADSL lines from two providers. The networks were providing Internet access for press staff, technical engineering crew & the paying public. Running several networks in a field using temp power presents a number of challenges all of which were overcome. We have staff with many years experience in the entertainment industry having the skills to install & maintain this kind of solution. Two IT support staff looked after support over the festival period.

Case 5

A specific wide area network to provide in-store audio feeds for a well known high street department store. This PWAN system consists of 130+ end points connected using Cisco MPLS aware routers routing to a datacentre in London. Here two servers provide content to the stores using a bespoke application. The network is multicast enabled allowing specific monitoring of the systems and network. Alerts can be raised in the event of a problem and an engineer dragged out of bed to attend site if required. ALIT solutions Ltd provided the PC hardware used in this setup. We also designed the PWAN and project managed the network delivery.
