Case Study: ZOOM Erlebniswelt creates a digital wildlife experience with Huawei Wi-Fi

ZOOM Erlebniswelt - connecting with animals

ZOOM Erlebniswelt, a popular adventure zoo in Gelsenkirchen, faced the challenge of creating a digital experience to complement its real-world animal exhibits. They wanted to provide visitors with interactive educational content via a new app, which required a comprehensive, unobtrusive Wi-Fi network integrated into the natural landscape without disrupting zoo operations. Partnering with Huawei and local provider GELSEN-NET, the solution was to deploy this extensive new wireless infrastructure.

Huawei implemented a custom Wi-Fi network, carefully installing 112 access points and running kilometers of fiber-optic cable to provide seamless coverage across the zoo's diverse terrain. The result was a free, high-quality Wi-Fi service for visitors that serves as the foundation for the zoo's digital apps and educational content. The project was completed on time within a six-month period with no disruption to animals or guests, successfully establishing the technological basis for ZOOM Erlebniswelt's ongoing digital expansion.
