Elements of the media may be determined to drive everyone into recession but this year’s Showman’s Show took no notice, growing in size and having an upbeat feel to it. Etherlive were both exhibiting at the show and providing services to Fonix LED. Over a highly ‘congested’ site in terms of radio spectrum use, including numerous ad-hoc Wi-Fi hotspots and a site mesh network, we ran multiple video streams, three CCTV cameras, a VoIP service and localised web hosting. This all builds on our approach of ‘business class wireless’, using extensive knowledge and experience to deliver high quality, high capacity services.

The show was a great success for us, with lots of interest in our newer services such as real-time location tracking, video streaming and event portals on handheld devices. Thanks to everyone who stopped by the stand for a chat and if you couldn’t make the show check out our website for further information on our latest services.

Etherlive will be demonstrating some of it’s cutting edge technology at the showman’s show this year which can significantly reduce infrastructure costs whilst also supporting sponsorship and other new revenue streams

Expect more information in the upcoming weeks (we don’t want to spoil all the surprise) 🙂

See you at the show!

New use case published today about our recent “Meet Your Navy” event which took place in Portmouth Navy base working with Fonix LED on a balmy hot July weekend (much better than the Welsh wet weather I’m currently writing this blog in) we setup temporary remote cameras on top of the popular Portsmouth Spinnaker tower to get a fresh view of the Red Arrows (from above!) and supported broadcast links from various ship locations – All displayed over the Fonix Meet Your Navy TV service

Got sent this – made me chuckle – obviously this chap hadn’t heard of etherLive support! We posted a comparison table today which shows the differences in our support levels take a look here

Obvious question but in a field full of 40,000 people it’s never easy. Far side of the stage? By the flag on the right? Yeah, it’s never going to work you might as well get to the bar.

etherLives event portal uses specialist location technology to report your exact location – it can even be used to tell your where your friends are or the closest bar (always handy!)

In fact our location reporting technology can be used with anything, as long as it can join our wireless network – the possibilities are endless

So we have a blog and a website – now we have a newsletter. Get it whilst it’s hot! Has details of ongoing work and services available

p.s. iPhone sell out is an understatement. I’m sure we should get into the mobile phone handset market…

New wireless survey tool you say? Check. Every wondered what the world looks like in the wireless spectrum? We can tell you, albeit through the use of a laptop screen (no holodeck capability yet I’m afraid)

Our new toolset can take readings as we walk around any site and report back. The tool highlights wireless signal issues with a simple colour code system. In most cases simple changes to the network can dramatically improve performance.

How’s your wireless network performing? (hint: If you have to hold your laptop in the air to get a signal it’s not great) use the contact form and we can pop over and have a look
