Case Study: Jumping de Chantilly achieves secure, reliable event connectivity with WatchGuard

Show-Jumping Event Gallops to Success with WatchGuard

Jumping Chantilly, the organizer of a major international show-jumping event in France, needed to replace its costly legacy network with a secure, reliable, high-performance setup that could support 1,500 daily users across two arenas, stables for up to 600 horses, and numerous user groups including staff, judges, media, sponsors, and spectators. The customer chose WatchGuard, using Firebox M300, AP102 wireless access points, and Dimension to meet its security and connectivity requirements.

WatchGuard implemented a network built around dual internet links, a Firebox M300, and 10 AP102 access points linked via fiber to extend Wi‑Fi throughout the venue. The solution segmented traffic with 11 SSIDs and VLANs, enabled secure payment processing, and provided visibility through Dimension. WatchGuard delivered flawless performance over the four-day event, supporting full-bandwidth usage, uninterrupted secure access, and successful live video streaming to 70 TV channels worldwide.
