Challenges & fixes

Digital projection and guest WiFi can't be exposed to each other's issues

Digital projection and guest WiFi can't be exposed to each other's issues

Modern digital projection systems run over IP, and a guest WiFi problem sharing the same infrastructure can, in the worst case, actually affect what's happening on screen.

  • OpenX AAA separates projection systems from guest WiFi
  • OpenX Gateway isolates operational and guest SSIDs by design
  • OpenX Switch give PoE stability to fixed projection and concession systems
Every showtime across a dozen screens creates a synchronized traffic spike

Every showtime across a dozen screens creates a synchronized traffic spike

When a dozen screens let out within minutes of each other, lobby WiFi gets hit with a synchronized surge of guests checking phones on their way out, all at once.

  • OpenX Cloud capacity monitoring flags showtime-driven spikes
  • Access Points positioned for lobby and concession coverage
  • AAA/RADIUS-as-a-Service handles the synchronized login surge
