Pacific Airshow - HB
This has to be our favorite recurring project. From 2018 - 2024 we have deployed the critical network infrastructure to support this event. The Pacific Airshow is a great demonstration of a full scope project for us. Below are some of the highlights of this event. -
P.O.S (Point of Sale) - This event has multiple locations that offer the sale of food/bev, merch, along side ticket scanners at each gate. Utilizing various antennas we are able to "shoot" the internet across the beach to distribute internet where necessary.
Live Coverage - Back in 2021 Hulu provided media coverage for the entirety of the event. We supplied a dedicated internet uplink for Hulu to effectively stream the show with no service interruptions.
Backup Communications Network - Due to the high volume of attendees for this show, we had to anticipate cell coverage being impacted and create a way to have an emergency backup communication network in place. By utilizing VoIP phones and wicked fast internet speeds we were able to have a reliable way to communicate if our main communications network went down.
Production Network - Across the 3 days for this show there were many instances where the Operations team needed internet access to execute the show. Our favorite example of this was in 2023 when President Trump did a fly by in his jet while communicating to the attendees over a Zoom call that was supported by our network.
VIP WiFi - Offered in select locations, WiFi was available to attendees to use. Having the ability for attendees to have internet access allowed them to upload photos & videos of the show. Free press is the best press!
The Pacific Airshow holds a special place in our hearts. Working day after day in the direct sunlight, on the beach, and in the elements may sound like a nightmare to some but to us it just another day "in the office" for us.
