Olympia London is one of the most popular conference and exhibition venues in the world<\/strong>. Opened in 1886 and located in West Kensington (London, England) the venue can now handle multiple events in 5 main spaces<\/strong> simultaneously<\/strong> and host up to 23,000 visitors at one time<\/strong>. eForce is the dedicated IT Company responsible for the venue\u2019s technical facilities, including the wireless network.<\/p>\n \u201cThe level of customisation<\/strong> of the UCOPIA solution is unmatched<\/strong> compared to the other Guest access solutions we looked at.\u201d<\/p>\n Amir Vered, Head of eForce<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n \u201cUCOPIA was the missing piece from the puzzle<\/strong>, we already covered the venue with Ruckus wireless APs but had no level of control over the network to monitor the bandwidth and the users\u2019 navigation\u201d explained Amir VERED, head of eForce at Olympia London. \u201cWe needed to develop our solution further as we wanted to provide easy authentication<\/strong> and monetise<\/strong> our network as well\u201d he added.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n With UCOPIA, Olympia London manages multiple SSIDs<\/strong> with respective rights<\/strong> and authentication processes<\/strong> for exhibitors, organizers and visitors.<\/p>\n \u201cVisitors have a free Wi-Fi access<\/strong> that effectively enables them to check their emails or navigate online. Organizers can customize their captive portal<\/strong> according to their brand image and offer connection packages<\/strong> to their exhibitors.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe bought the UCOPIA solution because it was bespoke <\/strong>for us. The UCOPIA teams are really supportive<\/strong> and pay attention to our feedback to improve things.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cAs the events come and go, we appreciate UCOPIA\u2019s data collection<\/strong> functionality as a way to help organizers get to know their exhibitors and visitors<\/strong>\u201d said Amir Vered.<\/p>\n Olympia London uses registration forms<\/strong> to gather specific information from the users<\/strong>. This information can then be analyzed<\/strong> through the UCOPIA Wi-Fi Analytics<\/strong> tool available on the Web Services Platform. \u201cWe are currently testing the new features of version 5. We need to provide organizers with some usage reports<\/strong> we can create directly on the Web Services Platform.\u201d<\/p>\n Amir Vered concluded, \u201cIt has been a journey for us to customize the solution according to our needs, but the UCOPIA team is available<\/strong> and listens to our feedback<\/strong> in order to release the appropriate features<\/strong> in upcoming versions of the software. We are very happy with the solution.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" OLYMPIA LONDON monetises its wireless network with UCOPIA Olympia London is one of the most popular conference and exhibition venues in the world.
