We will be there over the weekend of 6 to 7 March 2021. Of course, not as competitors. Even though we are at the top of our field, winter sports are not our discipline. We will not be there as spectators either, because no sports fans are allowed to attend due to pandemic measures.
Together with Cisco, we will participate in this downhill skiing World Cup event as a technology partner. We will take care of the Wi-Fi coverage of outdoor and indoor areas during the championship. Our task is to provide access to the Internet (including a firewall for Internet connectivity) for the entire organizational team, TV commentators and journalists, paramedics, the registration system, and all support systems (other than the timing system) that are necessary for the smooth running of the race. Unfortunately, Wi-Fi will not be made available for the public, as spectators will not be allowed at the World Cup Jasna 2021 event due to current Covid measures.
The Wi-Fi signal will cover all outdoor and indoor areas defined by the event organizer, such as tents, portable cabins, and mix zones. Our network will also be used to transmit images to large screens throughout the site. On top of that, we will also provide a cable LAN connection.
We will carry out this awesome assignment alongside our vendor Cisco. We will use Cisco’s industrial (outdoor) and office (indoor) switches on the slope and beyond. In total, there will be 35 to 40 pieces of hardware, 18 to 20 of which will be access points. These industrial switches are designed for a wide range of temperatures (from -30°C to +70°C), so they can handle the outdoor conditions.
We have huge respect for the championship. And we are very happy to be a part of it. Go Petra!
We are in the process of finalizing. If you want to be redirected to our old version of web site, please click here.
