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.
