Forum Groningen, Cpunt & Wilminktheater

In the cultural sector too, secure Wi-Fi has become a natural part of hospitality. Visitors want to be online without any worries, artists and staff expect reliable access behind the scenes, and organizations want to be able to guarantee the security of their network.

The right moment

For Forum Groningen, Cpunt in Haarlemmermeer, and the Wilminktheater and Muziekcentrum Enschede, the switch came at exactly the right time. New equipment and a revised network provided the opportunity to make the Wi-Fi system future-proof right away.

Immediate results

“Within six months, we had five thousand new users,” says Jan van der Veen of Forum Groningen. “This shows just how much secure Wi-Fi meets a real need. It fits our role as a public institution to have this well-organized.” The implementation proved easier than expected. The institutions took the time to inform their teams and visitors, chose a quiet moment for the transition, and saw immediate results. Administrators gained more oversight and fewer questions. Visitors mainly noticed that their connection was now automatically secured, without extra steps or explanation.

Security and hospitality reinforce each other

The three venues show that security and hospitality are not mutually exclusive, but actually reinforce each other. By making security a given, you offer your audience more than just a performance: an environment where everyone feels digitally secure as well.
