Press Release Body = 27th June 2007 - Selection Services today announces that for
the third year running it will be assisting The All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC)
to support its Cisco communications network during this year's Championships at
Wimbledon. The network plays a critical role in ensuring the World's media have
real-time access to all the latest news from the tournament in order to provide the
best possible coverage.
The agreement will see Selection Services support the event's Wireless Local Area
Network (WLAN), which will enable over 500 attending reporters from over 60
countries to access all information on the tournament, up to the minute schedules
and match scores. Selection Services will also monitor the press and Cisco Internet
links, allowing the media to uplink reports and photography in real time. The
network also plays a crucial role in sending out match scores, alerts and
information to the world's press.
Selection Services will arrive at Wimbledon two weeks prior to the event, to test
the Cisco wireless network. A skilled team of technicians will then remain onsite
for the duration of the tournament to provide ongoing fault evaluation, diagnostics
and software support, to ensure maximum uptime for the network.
"Wimbledon is a hugely popular tournament. Network resilience is critical to ensure
that the tournament runs as efficiently as possible and that the world's press have
the necessary means to cover the event successfully. Three years ago our existing
network supplier went into liquidation and we were hugely grateful to Selection
Services when they stepped in at short notice. Following the first phase of our
major upgrade of the network, it made sense to maintain some continuity of support
and we are pleased that Selection is joining our team to perform that role," said
Jeff Lucas, The All England Lawn Tennis Club.
"With the world watching, network stability and protection against IT downtime is
critical for large events such as Wimbledon. By including Selection Services
personnel in the IT support team, The All England Lawn Tennis Club is able to
protect its reputation and achieve real cost and operational benefits," commented
Alan Cantwell, CEO of Selection Services.
