Case Study: Cedar Fair Kings Island WiFi Solution

The Solution

Before Deep Blue’s WiFi network, Cedar Fair Kings Island was a clean slate with no public facing WiFi at the amusement park. This gave Deep Blue a unique opportunity to design a network from the ground up supporting the technology Kings Island would be deploying.

Expert knowledge in the use of state-of-the-art Ruckus access points with Beamflex technology was key.

Beamflex antennas arrays have 12 high-gain, directional antenna elements capable of forming 4096 unique antenna patterns for massive diversity. Ruckus devices find and select from many quality signal paths in a changing environment to sustain the baseline performance required for data, voice and video applications. Unlike omni-directional antennas that radiate signals in all directions, BeamFlex directs transmit energy towards the best path to the receiving device.

An outdoor cabling solution was also needed to protect wired connections from the environment and wildlife. Deep Blue created a custom cabling solution for the amusement park that dramatically cut conduit costs, protected it from wildlife, made it easier to identify, and gave it greater longevity.
