Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC), the region’s premier event organizer and operator of the largest exhibition venue in the Middle East, partnered with Aruba Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ:ARUN) to provide secure and high speed wireless internet access to visitors at the recently concluded Gitex Technology Week 2013. Over 25,000 devices, including laptops, tablets and mobiles, were successfully connected to the Wi-Fi network during the five-day event, cementing Aruba Networks’ credential as the best WLAN vendor in interoperability, handling client diversity, density and world class support.
Over a span of five days, Aruba powered 25,000 users across all exhibitor halls. Day 4 witnessed most traffic with the total connections surpassing 8000. 37% of all devices authenticated during the event were Apple followed by Samsung with 30% Windows at 13%.
With an increase of customers per day, WLAN solutions initially covered 1,500 users to over 6,000 to 8,000 daily users by the end of Gitex. As demand rose between the hours of 3:00 PM and 5:00 PM, over 20% of new users were able to rapidly and efficiently connect with no interference.
Ammar Enaya, General Manager for Middle East at Aruba Networks, said: “Client applications are bandwidth hungry and sensitive to connectivity issues, so ensuring assured bandwidth in a high interference and dense environment, such as Gitex, is a major challenge to network vendors. Aruba’s commitment to providing local and remote WLAN support during major exhibitions guaranteed that access to the internet was seamless and uninterrupted even during the peak hours.”
“Our work with Dubai World Trade Centre reinforces our position as the most trusted network solutions provider in the region, with the capacity to provide tailored solutions to a large varied audience. The project is one we are glad to be associated with because of its high density nature where we could showcase our superior networking solutions,” he added.
