Visitors and exhibitors attending the Farnborough Airshow next month will be able to use wireless broadband.

Vendor iBAHN is to install WiFi technology across the site which includes five exhibition halls and all hospitality chalets. The network will be covered by WPA (WiFi Protected Access).

Last year's Farnborough International Airshow covered 155,000 square metres, had 1,360 exhibitors from 32 different countries and attracted nearly 250,000 visitors from around the world.

iBAHN will provide the Airshow with a complete programme of support, from pre-event planning and negotiations, to post-event data on network usage.

Amanda Stainer, Director of Exhibitions and Events, said: 'As the leading global aerospace event, we strive to demonstrate innovation across every area of the show, including the technology we use.

'We are always looking for ways to improve the services on offer at the show and WiFi has been a service that has been requested by exhibitors and visitors alike.'

The airshow begins on 17 July and runs for a week.
