Desafios

Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise, the official Connectivity Partner of BMW International Open since 2016 is tasked with implementing communications infrastructure, including LAN, WLAN and IP telephony at the Golf Club.

Delivering connectivity is dually challenging:

  1. The golf course was located well outside urban areas and had weak mobile phone coverage.
  2. There is very high demand for network bandwidth and data from the organizers, sponsors and partners, journalists, and tens of thousands of visitors who want on-demand connectivity.
