Project Overview
At the Openair Frauenfeld 2024, we were tasked with an ambitious mission: to create a state-of-the-art network infrastructure across the festival grounds, ensuring seamless connectivity for thousands of attendees. Collaborating closely with our partner company Konzept5, we deployed an extensive array of networking equipment, including over 50 Cisco Switches and approximately 30 Access Points, all interconnected via a robust mix of fiber and copper cabling. This setup powered a variety of critical services, from public WiFi to backstage communications, ensuring the festival ran smoothly.
The festival layout was vast and complex, as shown below:
