Internet Connectivity for the “Gurten Festival”

The annual music festival on the Gurten mountain near Bern, during four days offers entertainment for every taste to 80’000 visitors. Nowadays especially pressmen demand internet access at such events; therefore a solution was needed to supply this service. Since the location is on a very remote spot, a DSL connection was not possible without severely impaired bandwidth.

HUBER+SUHNER AG enabled to bridge the last two kilometers supported by the point-to-point connection system SL60. At first a wireless connection between the Swisscom base station and the mountain restaurant was established, wherefrom the SL60 was connected to the techniques container.
All requests were satisfied; the festival area was supplied for all four days with internet connectivity (25Mb/s). Even in bad weather the internet access was guaranteed..
Since the application of the new technology was a trial, there was an additional DSL connection. But due to the efficient SL60 connection this DSL connection was not in use..
