KooKu
Provides WiFi at the BRIT Awards 2003
Lydbrook, Gloucestershire,
25 February 2004 - KooKu teamed up with LD Communications,
the PR Agency responsible for Press Relations, TV and
Radio Promotion for the BRITs to provide photographers
present with Wireless Internet Access. Photographers
at the awards, which were held at Earls Court in London
UK on 17th February, were able to send pictures of the
world's most famous stars on the night using WiFi broadband
internet access provided by the KooKuTM network. The
installation in the Harbour Room press area was based
on the 802.11b wireless networking standard protocol.
This service allowed photographers
to access the internet, email and online services at
broadband speeds, without a phone line connection. Photographers
and journalists without wireless cards were provided
with MicroAPs, a driver free installation device replacing
a wireless card, a cost effective and easy to use solution.
KooKu Sales Director,
Jeff Martin said, "This is the first BRIT Awards
ceremony to be WiFi enabled and we are delighted to
be involved in enabling an event as prestigious as the
BRIT Awards 2004 with this cutting edge technology and
the KooKu network. The photographers were delighted
with the service and the demand for it is now increasing".
This global wireless broadband
solution uses carrier class broadband access and WiFi
products. This can be deployed at any event within 24
hours in any location with full on site technical support
including the ability to provide constant bit rate services,
for the duration of the event. Each KooKu site supports
up to 150 users and gives the host the ability to customise
login pages and access cards, enabling it to be used
as a marketing tool.
