Next-generation Public Wi-Fi for the Sunshine Coast

VostroNet has been appointed by the Sunshine Coast Council (SCC) to deliver high-speed public wireless throughout the region. The appointment comes after the network provider demonstrated its extensive capabilities through a formal process hosted by SCC.

VostroNet deploys outdoor public wi-fi to light poles throughout the Kings Beach precinct.

VostroNet’s scope includes delivering Public Wi-Fi across the Sunshine Coast region, including the major regional airport, libraries, stadiums, beaches, parks, smart city streets and other council venues.

The network provider has a strong track record in providing high-speed, secure Public Wi-Fi including projects such as Queensland University of Technology’s (QUT) Public Wi-Fi (~1500+ access points / up to 40,000+ users) across their Gardens Point and Kelvin Grove campuses.

Jonathon Runge, CEO of VostroNet, welcomes the opportunity and believes “VostroNet is playing its part in enriching the region by providing high-speed connectivity to residents and visitors”.

The project will see VostroNet deploy its infrastructure throughout the region including through the heart of the Maroochydore city centre, and will put the network provider in a great position to cater for future development. The Sunshine Coast is one of Australia’s fastest-developing economies and is set to benefit from the new RTI undersea fibre optic cable landing in Maroochydore and other Smart City initiatives.

Q2 Software Platform

One key component of VostroNet’s wireless network solution is its innovative Q2 Software Platform including the powerful analytics engine.

Q2 Software Platform includes realtime information, location aware zoning and network analytics.

The Q2 Platform interfaces with Council systems, including location zoning, advanced demographics on footfall, repeat and complementary visits and dynamic landing pages – enhancing community and visitor engagement while providing a safe and improved service.

VostroNet’s deployment of public wireless throughout the Sunshine Coast ensures both residents and visitors to the region will have access to reliable, fast, free Wi-Fi for years to come.
