Colocation provider C4L connects the Bournemouth Air Show

C4L, the UK colocation provider, is using their Wireless Leased Line service to help provide the Bournemouth Air Show with Internet connectivity. C4L have recently launched their Wireless Leased Line service and were approached by Etherlive, an Event and Specialist IT services provider, to supply high speed Internet services for the event.

C4L has set up a wireless point to point link between County Gates House and the Cumberland Hotel in Bournemouth in order to provide the Cumberland Hotel rooms, bar and pool area with Internet connectivity. Etherlive will be providing free Internet access to all attendees watching the Air Show from the beach, as well as giving the Air Show's event organisers some key services, including a number of Wireless VoIP phones. This has been made possible by C4L's Wireless Leased Line Service.

Matt Hawkins, Managing Director of C4L commented 'When we were approached by Etherlive, we were more than happy to oblige to their request of our using our services to provide the Bournemouth Air Show with Internet connectivity. This is a fantastic opportunity for C4L to deploy our Wireless Leased Service to such a high calibre local event. The introduction of our Wireless Leased Line Service will provide the UK with an alternative connectivity option that can reach areas which traditionally have limited connectivity'.

C4L's Wireless Leased Line service has been devised to address the ever increasing gap between broadband speeds in areas close to the telephone exchange, and those further away. The service has been developed via thorough research and by using C4L's existing Internet Infrastructure. Wireless Leased Lines work by transmitting radio, microwave or laser technology frequencies to a receiver giving them a private, uncontended, high speed Internet connection. To provide a high speed wireless connection to the Air Show an antenna was deployed on the roof of the Bournemouth data centre which then links with another antenna on the Cumberland Hotel, allowing for connectivity within a three mile radius. C4L will be extending their wireless presence over the upcoming months to ensure maximum coverage across the UK.

C4L is an Internet Infrastructure provider and deploys a full range of services in over 25 data centres including colocation, IP Transit, Interconnects, Data Backup, Data Storage, Virtualisation, Disaster Recovery and Leased Lines, to name just a few. These are all provided with C4L’s commitment to maximum uptime and customer support featuring a 24/7 NOC which is manned by trained professionals with Microsoft and Cisco qualifications.
