Case Study on "UEFA Under19 Football Championships" and the use of Wireless Technology
The Irish Football Association was chosen by the Union of European Football (UEFA) to host the European Under 19 Football Championships in Northern Ireland. Given the large size of the event, the IFA realized that its existing information technology (IT) infrastructure would not be sophisticated enough to service fans, officials, press and staff at various venues throughout the country.
To ensure a successful tournament and promote Northern Ireland as a top destination for international football tournaments of this calibre, the IFA needed a wireless PC solution that would enable users to share information quickly and across multiple locations within the tournament venue.
The Solution
 | The IFA engaged Xperience... to help it deploy Lenovo Thinkpad notebooks running the Microsoft Windows XP operating system and Web-Tablet PC's. These machines provided mobile wireless connectivity that linked national teams, officials, sponsors and the press and enabled the IFA to quickly publish game reports, statistics and the latest team news. |
The Web-tablet PC's were also used to collect information on the fans attending the various matches during the tournament.
