Popular venues such as theatres, sports venues, hospitals and airports are major hubs for mobile, multi-media traffic. As public demand grows for high-quality, digital services, such traffic can generate new and lucrative sources of revenue. However, many locations are not configured to accommodate this traffic. New wi-fi infrastructures are required to provide the necessary throughput, data analytics and security to justify higher tariffs.
In this unique event, Telstra is inviting you to the Royal Opera House to view and experience the state-of-the-art wi-fi technologies that can support multi-media applications both for visitors and performing staff.
Join us on the 25th of April to tour the Royal Opera House, speak to the technical staff and enjoy a discussion dinner at one of its exclusive dining rooms. Telstra will discuss the challenges and opportunities relating to this wi-fi project. Roger Camrass will chair the event.
