The WIRED Conference will be attended by more than 400 executives and will be held at the Museum of Jewish Heritage in New York City.

Smartphones and tablets are an essential part of staying connected to the office, however a poor indoor cell phone signal can make this a challenge, said Michael Cummiskey of Wi-Ex. With Spot On Networks help, we provided the attendees of the WIRED Business Conference with the ability to stay on top of emails, phone calls and texts, as well as Tweet the latest conference news all while still enjoying the conference.

According to William Howard, Vice President of Project Management for Spot On Networks, the Museum of Jewish Heritage, is a cellular dead zone due to the buildings exterior construction primarily the lead tinted windows. In order to ensure that the executives attending the WIRED conference had secure and complete data, voice and Internet support on their mobile devices such as iPads and iPhones, it was necessary for us to deploy an enhanced network within the three-story building using Wi-Ex zBoost cellular signal boosters.
