Guest ttfn Posted 24 August 2011 Posted 24 August 2011 My home network is called 'Pretty Fly For A Wi-fi' Huge lad. Mine is called "BT Home Hub CB-75". Less catchy, but I'm sure you'll agree it does the job.
nothin2seehere Posted 25 August 2011 Posted 25 August 2011 Ok lets work this out on the back of a fag pack: To be able to support 32,000 connections i doubt a 200Mb internet pipe would be sufficient which would cost upwards of 15,000 a month. Also there is the small matter of policing fans from accessing sites they should not do! Hah, nice work. Although to be fair, 200Mb would probably be excessive - I can't see many people doing more than the odd Youtube clip and checking scores at HT plus like you said, you can block bandwidth intensive sites like Youtube or iPlayer. It would be interesting to the results of a trial in one of the lesser-used stands for six months, or to the end of the 2011/12 season.
Jollie Posted 25 August 2011 Posted 25 August 2011 Ok lets work this out on the back of a fag pack: A cisco access point can handle upto 25 concurrent connections. In reality for some sort of performance i think it is more like 15 concurrent connections. For this exercise i have selected the Cisco 1242AG Aironet Access Points. A cisco switch has 48 ports. For this exercise i have selected a cisco 3750 - 48 port switch. On the basis of 25 concurrent connections per AP we would need to deploy 1300 AP's. The approx cost for one of these babies is £200 so the AP's alone would cost £260,000. Add to this the need for the switches which go for around 5k each. 1300 AP's divided by 48 ports on a switch = 28 switches which would cost around £140,000 Add to this professional services for wireless surveys and install/comfig costs guestimated at around £30,000 The wireless network for fans would come in at around £450,000 To be able to support 32,000 connections i doubt a 200Mb internet pipe would be sufficient which would cost upwards of 15,000 a month. Also there is the small matter of policing fans from accessing sites they should not do! All the above are estimates and subject to a full consultation. R u saying if we sell Waghorn for a mil we can have a 400mb internet thingy?
lcfcadam Posted 25 August 2011 Posted 25 August 2011 Can someone please explain to me why we need a public wi-fi connection at the ground? The most communicating I do during a game is checking other scores and texting my mates the bad news at half-time, are the rest of you all streaming latest-release movies to relieve the boredom of the match or something?
MrSpaM Posted 26 August 2011 Posted 26 August 2011 The Wi-Fi is there, but it's restricted to people reporting from the stands and photographers etc. If your coming to the game you can't just hop on the KP Wi-Fi and start surfing the internet, thats not what it's there for.
@mrtonycox Posted 26 August 2011 Posted 26 August 2011 I'm on Orange and have exactly the same problem. It's a right pain in the arse. Orange is shit everywhere.. My mrs just got iphone on Orange.. EVERY time anyone calls her it's answerphone as she has no service.. She gets texts late... Rubbish. She can never use it when she needs it.. 2 year contract too...

I'd like to use my apps that show scores around the country.. 3G tends to be limited on bandwidth, especially when so many people with phones in the same area
