How do you bring Wi-Fi to a racecourse?
Watch the Cartmel Racecourse film and see how Phone Guys, Omada and the venue team approached Wi-Fi across a busy outdoor site.
The connection has to follow the race day.
The useful difference
The connection has to follow the race day.
On race day, nobody stays in one place. Visitors move from the paddock to the rails, through buildings and across open ground. At Cartmel Racecourse, gaps in public Wi-Fi meant people were asking staff how to get online. The film shows how the venue team, Phone Guys and Omada approached the challenge.
The film
See the racecourse Wi-Fi project in action.
The people behind the project explain the challenge of connecting a racecourse while visitors move between buildings, paddock and open ground.
Project evidence
A distinctive venue needs a network designed for the real place.
Cartmel combines outdoor space, historic buildings, operational systems and rapidly changing race-day demand. The project evidence matters more than generic technology imagery.
