FIA’s Head of Operations, Andy Coulson, commented: “We were impressed by the solution offered to deliver a reliable, flexible, easy-to-deploy and cost-effective service. The range of products which Wireless LAN Source uses to build the network means we can offer a range of bespoke services to the exhibitors attending our event, providing them with the necessary tools to help them make the most of their day.”
