ACCESSPLUS and queensland folk federation

The Queensland Folk Federation (QFF) is globally renowned for its vibrant multicultural festivals the Woodford Folk Festival and The Dreaming. Together these festivals attract well over 100,000 visitors and take place over an area of 11970km2.

The QFF came to AccessPlus a need to provide festival staff  with reliable and secure Internet access, as well as an Intranet to enable the various departments to  ‘talk’ with each other regarding sales, ticketing and other resources.

Using Wireless Access Points and/or Ethernet switches connected to devices at each endpoint to connect all sites back into a single Ethernet network, AccessPlus was able to provide this solution.

Plans for the Festival now include creating a new mini data-room in the middle of the Festival area which would enable high-speed access to the servers that are required for both sales and multimedia services, as well as Internet services for visitors.

In its continued support of the student accommodation industry, AccessPlus was an official sponsor of the 2008 AHAUCHI Conference. The Conference is an annual meeting of the heads of Australian University Colleges and Halls to discuss trends and issues in the industry, the theme of this year's Conference being 'Diversity and Equity in Australian Higher Education'.

The 2008 Conference was held in the picturesque setting of the Univeristy of Melbourne Campus from September 29 - Oct 2. We were proud to have preferred supplier Endy supporting the AccessPlus profile, and look forward to continued support of industry events.

Sunshine Coast Regional Council (SCRC) – AccessPlus joint project: Maroochy Library

AccessPlus has provided internet services at the 6 SCRC caravan parks for the last couple of years. The success of these services saw AccessPlus approached by the Council to install a wireless hotspot for the Maroochy library, and potentially the Council’s other libraries on the Sunshine Coast.

Management software was custom-designed and built by AccessPlus to the Council’s specs – including KPI reporting facilities such as users online, data user, peak usage times etc.

The benefits for the library and the SCRC include monthly reports, and all management of the system and support looked after by AccessPlus.

(ie. AccessPlus Managed Internet!)

The setup?

2 wireless Access Points were set up to provide coverage to all areas of the library as well as the front courtyard.

Users connect to the library’s network. Once they open a browser they are redirected to a page with the Library’s homepage and from there they are free to access the internet.
