On a winning streak: TitanHQ partner with Etihad Stadium to secure guest Wi-Fi

TitanHQ continues its string of new business successes as the company proudly announces its Wi-Fi security solution will be used to secure guest W-Fi at the superb Etihad stadium, Melbourne, Australia.

Located in the heart of Melbourne, Etihad Stadium has welcomed more than 35 million fans through the gates since opening in 2000. Renowned for regularly staging AFL, A-League and BBL action under the famous retractable roof, Etihad Stadium has also hosted some of the biggest international sporting events such as UFC193, Soccer World Cup Qualifiers and the International Rugby Union tests.

Etihad was looking for a client-less DNS filtering system for their public Wi-Fi to protect users from web threats while using guest Wi-Fi. ‘’ With over 700 APs around the stadium it was important the free Wi-Fi they offer patrons was secure.​ Implementing WebTitan Wi-Fi security has enabled Etihad Stadium to become one the most technologically advanced, secure and connected stadiums in Australia’’ said Ronan Kavanagh, CEO, TitanHQ.

According to Geoff Hall, I.T. Manager at Etihad Stadium, ‘Our guests are the big winners from our partnership with TitanHQ.  A total of 704 high-density Wi-Fi access points have also been installed to provide fast, free and secure internet connections to each and every fan. WebTitan Wi-Fi filtering delivers a transparent experience, with super-fast and secure Internet’’.

As everything is done in the cloud, WebTitan for Wi-Fi leverages the Internet’s existing infrastructure, therefore, avoiding any latency issues and removing the need for hardware or software.  For stadium management and owners, this brings peace of mind as WebTitan for Wi-Fi prevents malware from compromising guests’ devices or stealing guests’ identities over any port, protocol, or app.

At TitanHQ we understand the importance of investing in a reliable and secure wireless network to deliver outstanding Wi-Fi performance in high-density environments like sports stadiums. We are proud to have helped Etihad secure and enhance the digital experience for their visitors. The continuing penetration of smartphones is expanding the role of Wi-Fi at sports and entertainment venues. These high-capacity converged networks must be able to support secure guest access. WebTitan for Wi-Fi is designed to provide secure Wi-Fi throughout venues while simplifying its management.
