Case Study: TecExpert achieves reliable cashless transactions and high-performance Wi‑Fi at the São Paulo Grand Prix with Cambium Networks Wi‑Fi 6

The Formula 1 Brazilian Grand Prix Gets Up to Speed with Wi-Fi 6 Connectivity

TecExpert was tasked with delivering reliable, high-performance connectivity for the Formula 1 Heineken São Paulo Grand Prix 2021—an event with nearly 200,000 spectators—where all food and beverage purchases used cashless POS cards and additional Wi‑Fi coverage was required for COVID testing areas. To avoid sales loss and long queues caused by overloaded cellular networks, TecExpert needed a robust enterprise Wi‑Fi 6 solution from Cambium Networks that could guarantee stable transactions and broad coverage.

Cambium Networks supplied an enterprise Wi‑Fi 6 deployment (XV3‑8, XV2‑2 and XV2‑2T APs) managed by the cnMaestro platform; TecExpert installed 27 APs with zero‑touch configuration and on‑site monitoring across the three‑day event. The Cambium Networks solution supported a peak of 431 connected devices, had zero equipment failures, enabled transparent POS roaming, reduced troubleshooting through remote monitoring and firmware updates, and ensured reliable transactions that increased sales and improved the spectator experience.
