Woodstock: WiFi met expectations, Android’s most popular – dobreprogramy

 There is no doubt that in technical terms this year, the 20th Woodstock was unique. For the first time free WiFi is available to participants of the festival on such a large area, and despite the concerns of the organizers fulfilled their task. Robust network load generated by several thousand participants of the festival and did not give the interference generated by a powerful sound system even when the same scene. There is, however, used infrastructure with increased resistance.
 



With such large installations, in quite difficult terrain and organizational (as. Example. Need to supply power, interference, a huge number of devices, such as smartphones and tablets), we would expect rather that the network will work ‘ somehow ‘. It turned out that users did not report any comment. With free Wi-Fi to a few thousand users, and the network simply work – without interference and problems.

 Android devices were by far the most popular and accounted for 59% of all that were connected with the festival access points. The second was iOS – 22%, for a third and Windows (total, including Windows Phone) – 11%. An interesting fact on a national scale is the presence in the statistics of exactly 12 BlackBerry devices.
 

 If we consider the producers of the Woodstock Fi merged most of Apple’s devices (24%) and Samsung (22%). For further positions include: Nokia (10%), Sony (10%), LG (7%) and HTC (6%).
 

 Android Fragmentation already know, and we know that it is not the best. Also during the Woodstock were numerous Android devices 2.3.6 or even 1.6. As for iOS, you can see that the old iPhone is missing – the oldest benefited from version 4.2.1.
 

 WiFi at Woodstock operated from 29 July to 2 or August 3, depending on the area, and the equipment to be installed in such difficult conditions supplied by Ruckus. It was used, however, the scale of the festival, few users, because only 3163 of 750,000. 8611 were opened the session with a total duration of 1574 hours. Additionally, the system Smart Access Management Service followed the road we stayed users. Although the use of networks do not have to provide any data, 60% of users have provided your e-mail address. With login using Facebook did not benefit anyone.
