Admin phantom Posted June 14, 2017 Admin Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 Startup Zeetta Networks has won a contract worth £1.8m to build a large-scale demonstrator of its Software Defined Networking (SDN) technology at the Ashton Gate sports stadium in Bristol.. The contract from InnovateUK follows trials at the stadium last year and will see the NetOS software deployed throughout the stadium. The project has broader implications as NetOS can be applied to shopping centres, hospitals, airports and other venues with complex operating networks. The project will connect tens of thousands of devices including mobile phones, cash tills, turnstiles, display screens, air conditioning and heating as well as sensors and building management systems, all with software that is easy to set up, monitor and reconfigure in real time. Zeetta, a smart city spin-off from the University of Bristol, will also develop a programmable platform for new services by extracting data analytics from the network for new software apps. “Stadia and other large venues, across the UK and beyond, are challenged by their consumer need for more data and faster response time particularly as they scale up their activities into new business areas,” said Vassilis Seferidis, CEO of Zeetta Networks. “This first-of-a-kind deployment forms a key part of our business plan by demonstrating our technological capabilities and the resulting commercial benefits for our customers.” The move is not just about sport. Although Ashton Gate hosts both Bristol City football club and Bristol Rugby, it is also a major conference and events venues. Zeetta will build new business applications on top of the NetOS platform for the wide range of events at Ashton Gate alongside third-party providers. “We’ve been working with Zeetta Networks for the last 12 months and it is exciting to see the potential uses of this system unfold,” said Martin Griffiths, chairman of Ashton Gate. “Sports stadia across the globe struggle with connectivity and real-time evaluation of data. I believe we are just scratching the surface of what this NetOS platform can deliver and look forward to seeing its implementation over the coming year. Using Ashton Gate Stadium as a live test lab I’m confident that we will be able to drive greater fan engagement along with significant returns to our businesses.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a £1.8million grant, so gives us an upgraded system at no cost and earns him a few ££. Happy days all round. That's why he's the billionaire amongst us..!

RedRock Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 Is this something to do with Betamax video players? Assume we'll be able to plug them into the big screen. Can't wait to play my 'Buxom Beauty Rides Again' tape again. Good investment SL, there must be millions of redundant videos around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Hitler Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 It sounds like a vision of hell. I have no TV and will be ditching my smartphone shortly for a dumb phone. Technology is only worthwhile if it improves your life. Endless Apps, social media, tracking, and targetted advertising are all bottom burps from the bowels of Lucifer himself.

beaverface Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 So does that mean if we all use our smartphones at the same time to carry out a DOS attack, we can cause floodlight failure when we're losing????!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but it does mean that instead of failing to organise a demo outside the ground, some of our supporters will be able to get JOHNSON OUT onto every screen in large letters!

EnderMB Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 It's good to see the club invest in this sort of thing. As someone that works in tech myself, it's far too common to see companies treat tech as a waste of money, as it's not directly making them money. In turn, they suffer tons of problems through not investing money in their systems, and lose money/waste time/etc. 11 hours ago, Eddie Hitler said: It sounds like a vision of hell.

Yes, the vast majority of it is useless, regardless of what age you are. If you spend the time, though, you'll find there's a lot of use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
