Wireless Solutions

This year, we took on the mantle of delivering site-wide connectivity for the festival.

After attending the launch event in 2011 with , it was great to return and see how .woodall has grown it to become such a vibrant, fun and energy-filled event.

It’s a seriously huge event now. By day, a sports event with rugby, netball and dodge ball matches being played across the site. By night, a music festival, with top DJs and sets keeping the party going into the small hours.

Our brief: to deliver site-wide public WiFi with a branded captive portal that got thousands of guests online in seconds, alongside secure, segmented connectivity keeping payments, ticketing and event operations running without interruption.

The best compliment was the silence we heard. It meant that everything ran as it should - it just worked, without awareness or consciousness.

Big thanks to for entrusting us, and for the photo 💪🏼

It’s a smooth operation run by Chris and Lewis to perfection. Comments from the client like “they’ve been brilliant, as always” are what we like to hear. Top boys, and always smiling.

Our 7-strong team is firing on all cylinders at Badminton 💪
Site connectivity is rolling out zone by zone:

🟢 Green: tested & live
🟠 Amber: almost there
🔴 Red: still to install

We’ve had incredible weather so far (long may it last 🤞), and the Badminton crew + contractors have been an absolute dream to work with.

Mutual trust and respect make all the difference on event sites. We even squeezed in a cheeky beer night with friends and co-suppliers - a chance to catch up and put the world to rights 🍻

Now it’s early nights and back at it. It’s full-on, but staying sharp is key.

It’s what we do. It’s what we love. And working with great people makes it even better.
