BT Wi-fi delivers industry leading technology to top London venue - 30 Euston Square

BT Wi-fi has delivered cutting edge technology to ensure high quality, high speed Wi-fi connectivity for those visiting 30 Euston Square, an award winning events venue and home of the Royal College of General Practitioners.

Tony Mills, Site Delivery Project Manager, BT Wi-fi, confirmed that the upgrades make 30 Euston Square “one of the UK’s most comprehensively connected venues as it provides organisers with the confidence that Wi-fi connection is seamless on multiple devices throughout the whole of the venue, even in peak times.”
 
The upgrades, which use Cisco hardware to more than double the venue’s available bandwidth through the addition of new access points containing the latest technology, will allow devices to connect across both 2.5 and 5 GHz channels resulting in even more connections to the venue’s superfast internet connection.

Tony adds: “Whilst many venues and buildings invest in high speed internet lines they lack enough access points to effectively make use of such high speed infrastructure, which effectively limits the number of devices able to make a connection at any one point in time. 30 Euston Square’s decision to not only increase access points but enable connections on both the 2.5 and 5 GHz ranges allows more devices to connect, which also improves connection performance on the latest smartphones and tablets.  In lay terms, these changes can be compared to upgrading from a dual carriageway to a four-lane motorway.”
 
Yvette Chatwin, 30 Euston Square’s General Manager adds: “The need for efficient Wi-fi connectivity has grown since 30 Euston Square first opened. With the growth in social media, streaming and video conferences we wanted to make sure that our Wi-fi would not let us or our clients down. Since first opening our doors three and a half years ago, technology has been at the heart of our offering and to be an industry leading venue we need to have industry leading Wi-fi.  To meet the needs of tomorrow’s market, venues need to not just invest but evaluate and reinvest in their technology.  At 30 Euston Square, we strive to meet the growing needs of our clients; we continually review our offering to ensure we are not just fit for purpose now, but for several years to come.”

30 Euston Square is a conference, meetings and events venue based in the heart of London. For more information on holding an event please call 020 8453 4600 or email 30eustonsquare@searcys.co.uk.
