The Wi-Fi system is now built around the Ruckus Enterprise Class Smart Wireless LAN controller. This system operates on the
5GHz band but is auto switching to the conventional 2.6GHz band if it finds the band to be very congested. It allows seamless
meshing by adding additional WAPs without any cabling to greatly expand the wireless coverage in difficult areas.
The other improvement is the addition of the Patton Copper link extender. This resolves the problem of providing a hard-wired
Ethernet connection to Front of House from stage given the limitations of standard Ethernet protocol. Ethernet is transmitted
over simple twisted pair over distances of up to 1,500m (5,500ft). As the connection only requires a simple twisted pair it will
work perfectly well via standard microphone cable so the connection is brought out onto the patch panel on an XLR so the feed
can be routed over any existing audio lines that are run from Front of House to stage. A receiver is housed in the new Front of
House rack, details below.
