Case Study: Helsinki Exhibition and Convention Center achieves high-density Wi-Fi performance with Ekahau

Helsinki Exhibition and Convention Center deploys Wi‑Fi for 10,000 concurrent devices with Ekahau

The Helsinki Exhibition and Convention Center, the largest convention center in Finland, faced the challenge of upgrading its Wi-Fi network to support thousands of concurrent users and demanding applications like streaming video across its high-density exhibition halls. Their existing wireless installation could no longer meet these needs. They turned to Ekahau for a solution, specifically utilizing the Ekahau Pro toolset for network design and validation.

The solution involved using Ekahau Pro for predictive planning and on-site validation surveys to design and optimize a new Cisco-based Wi-Fi network. The Ekahau tools enabled the IT team to efficiently plan for minimal interference and high data rates, and to easily fine-tune the network for each unique event. The results were a smoothly functioning high-density WLAN that successfully supports up to 10,000 concurrent devices, with the team able to verify performance and make necessary configuration changes confidently using Ekahau's data.
