Case Study: Edinburgh International Conference Center achieves scalable, reliable Wi-Fi with ADTRAN Bluesocket vWLAN

Edinburgh International Conference Center - Customer Case Study

The Edinburgh International Conference Center (EICC) faced a significant challenge as its legacy hardware-based Wi-Fi system could no longer handle the demands of thousands of conference attendees. The venue required a highly scalable, reliable, and fault-tolerant 802.11n wireless solution to support its events and its commitment to sustainability. Adtran's Bluesocket vWLAN solution was selected to address these needs.

Adtran's virtualized WLAN solution eliminated the need for costly hardware controllers, providing the EICC with greater scalability and a reduced total cost of ownership. The implementation delivered high availability with zero packet loss, effortlessly supporting 2,000 concurrent users while also dramatically reducing energy consumption. This solution aligned with the venue's green initiatives and provided a future-proof, 802.11ac-ready network to support its expansion plans.
