CASE STUDY
BoFiNet wanted to offer Botswanan fans a full experience at the 50th
independence celebrations.
THE RUCKUS PROJECT OUTPERFORMED
EXPECTATIONS WITH THE TEAM HIGHLY
SUPPORTIVE FROM BOTH A COMMERCIAL
AND TECHNICAL PERSPECTIVE. WE WERE
IMPRESSED WITH THEIR FOCUS AND
WILLINGNESS TO GO THE EXTRA MILE TO
ENSURE THE WI-FI NETWORK NOT ONLY
WORKS ACCORDING TO EXPECTATIONS,
BUT EXCEEDED THEM.
“Scaffolding was not an option, so cranes
were used to provide the platform for
installation because this was the most
efficient way to achieve results.
“We had confidence in the installation
partner (IT0IQ) and the timelines were clear
at the start of the project.
“Emphasis was placed on meeting the
deadline and where needed, decisions were
made quickly to facilitate progress.
“The system has complete backward
compatibility and legacy device support. The
management system and analytics show
that all device types and operating systems
are able to use the service successfully.”
