Due to the increasing demand for Internet-enabled communications at Barrett-Jackson auction events, Airband is adding 10 MB of bandwidth at this year’s show, for a total of 80 MB.  In addition, Barrett-Jackson is leveraging the increased bandwidth to support unlimited, free Wi-Fi access in its social media area so that attendees can use their phones and mobile devices to interact and share their auction experience via the web and social media outlets, such as Twitter and Facebook.  As one of the world’s most widely attended automobile auction events offering one-of-a-kind collector cars, Barrett-Jackson requires 100 percent uptime and reliable Internet access to help manage its social media channels, automotive catalog, online bidding, and live video streaming.

Fixed-wireless Internet access offers an affordable and scalable alternative to traditional wireline options, and Airband’s highly flexible data services allow businesses, such as hospitality venues and convention centers, to quickly adjust bandwidth without having to install new technology or change existing infrastructures.  In addition, Airband’s network gives large events, like Barrett-Jackson auctions, and conference centers the added flexibility to make bandwidth changes easily and quickly, based upon the amount of data usage and event attendance.

“With more than $24 million in gross sales at our most recent auction, Barrett-Jackson recognizes the value of Internet-enabled communications.  Uninterrupted service is a necessity for all of our events, and we pride ourselves on delivering an exemplary online experience for automobile enthusiasts,” said Barrett-Jackson Chairman and CEO Craig Jackson.  “Airband is a trusted partner of Barrett-Jackson because we can count on their reliable network infrastructure to give buyers and fans real-time access to our live auction events.”

“Airband is proud to once again support Barrett-Jackson’s objective of creating a unique and exciting online environment for collector car aficionados,” said Matt Clark, general manager of Airband’s western regions.  “Because Airband bypasses the local phone and cable infrastructures, we’re able to guarantee 100 percent uptime, while at the same time delivering services at a cost performance level unmatched in the industry.”
