Location

Preston Park, Brighton

“Having changed to attend2IT in 2018 we increased our requirements for WiFi, CCTV and ticket scanning for 2019 and have been really pleased with the results. The team are easy to work with pre-event, taking the time to talk through what we need and don’t confuse you with technical jargon. The delivery on site meant we had a smooth process at the gates, all our teams had dedicated WiFi across all our event spaces – not easy in a city centre. We’re looking forward to working with them and developing the service for 2020.”

Scanning

Our scanning solution is written completely in-house for use on the Zebra TC25+ scanner. This allows us to run on WiFi or SIM cards when appropriate. Fraud prevention and speed are key, the scanners are all linked to stop duplicate tickets being used at different gates and the hardware used is top end to allow for quick scanning of even the most damaged of tickets.

Wifi

With numerous bars, brand activations and production requirements there is also a large WiFi team onsite. We provide coverage across the site and prioritise the network according to need and importance. We also provide WiFi to the scanners to ensure duplicate tickets cannot be used across multiple gates.

Brighton fibre provides 1000Mbps leased lines. and Old Steine where the ticket exchange takes place. There was also Basic MPLS set up between the sites to make CCTV routing easier.

Over 100 Access points are deployed and centrally managed. Our proprietary system monitoring and setup system we have built in-house allows for a quick deployment and minimal downtime.

CCTV

We also provide full CCTV coverage at Preston Park and queue monitoring at Old Steine. This service is monitored by key personnel and also integrated into the Brighton Police system so they can monitor the whole event from the local station.

The system is live from the moment the build starts with extra cameras coming online as and when power reaches them. This allows the organiser team to monitor the event for a H&S and kit security point of view as the build progresses.
