When Petra Vlhová crossed the finish line in the Giant Slalom race of the Alpine Ski World Cup in Jasná and found out that she had won, she started crying. At that moment, not only were the emotions of the Slovak skier maxed out. The load on the LAN and Wi-Fi communication network built by Soitron and Cisco as a custom solution for the event organiser, Tatry Mountain Resorts, was also running at full capacity. Video footage of the race, interviews, commentaries, and news articles were streamed to the whole world. The communication infrastructure passed successfully this final stress test.
