Connection upgrade for Wyboston Lakes

The conference and training centre at Wyboston Lakes has upgraded its site–wide broadband service to 100 MBs. It is ten times the speed previously supplied, and is believed to be by some way the fastest speed available within any UK specialist conference venue.

The enhancement reflects the fact that Wyboston Lakes is the country's largest privately owned single site dedicated conference provider, often with several events happening simultaneously across the three separate venues on its 350 acre site between Cambridge and Bedford.

The improved broadband facility means the availability of a completely reliable site–wide service in all working, residential and rest areas, which is free to all conference clients and delegates. It will provide a sector-leading platform for video–conferencing and the streaming of events. The service will also ensure that 'internet–hungry' events – such as particularly large training events and conferences where delegates need to access the web to download files, run live links, view webcam presentations or network with other groups – can be run with complete confidence, and do not put at risk the service to other clients.

"Our previous capacity of 10 MBs was more than adequate for most situations, but now we have truly immense flexibility," explained Mark Jennings, information and communication systems manager at Wyboston Lakes.
