The Moscone Center Delivers Rock-Solid Wi-Fi to 18,000-plus Attendees
“Does Moscone have Wi-Fi?” is by far the most common question that is asked on the Moscone Center’s website. And it’s usually the first question asked by attendees of the flagship convention and exhibition campus in San Francisco. A citywide initiative led the Moscone Center to make Wi-Fi an essential part of its convention and exhibition experience. The Moscone Center consists of three main halls spread out across 87 acres. It supports up to 74 events per year and holds up to 60,000 guests.
“In the exhibition and trade show industry,there are no second chances with customers,” said Jeff Hardy, network engineer, Moscone Center. “ Large events require Wi-Fi that works right the first time. As part of a citywide facelift construction project, it was decided that the Moscone Center would be fitted with Wi-Fi in each of its three buildings, across more than 2 million square feet of space.”
