This was a massively complex CNS design and build, using Cisco High-density Wi-Fi Catalyst 9800 architecture and Catalyst 9K Access Points, to:
- Bring together around 40 different building systems in one intelligent control system, ranging from lighting and sound to turnstiles and access control
- Provide reliable high-density Wi-Fi for up to 23,500 concurrent users, using real-time and multimedia applications
- Deliver a consistent end-user experience throughout 40+ bars, restaurants and concessions across four floors
- Support the Co-op Live application, delivering a paperless venue.
Take a look at the case study for more details about how CNS technology is supporting this phenomenal venue.
