Wi-Fi 6e will provide seamless, high-speed connectivity, increased flexibility and great value for visitors, exhibitors and event organizers

Boldyn Networks (Boldyn), a global leader in shared connectivity solutions, today announced that the Greater Columbus Convention Center (GCCC) is taking its digital infrastructure to the next level with the launch of advanced connectivity solutions. 

Boldyn’s state-of-the-art Wi-Fi 6e network, will ensure seamless, high-speed connectivity for visitors, exhibitors, and event organizers, enhancing the overall experience at one of the Midwest’s premier convention venues. 

Boldyn’s deployment has brought improved Wi-Fi connectivity, faster speeds, and a new onsite flexible pricing model that gives more control to GCCC. GCCC hosts a wide range of events, from large tech conferences to smaller family-focused gatherings. This new pricing model allows for fluctuations in end-user costs based on the type of event, enabling event organizers to better manage their relationships with recurring clients while also providing valuable data insights to strategize on additional revenue growth opportunities for GCCC. 

“Our partnership with the Greater Columbus Convention Center is set to deliver cutting-edge connectivity solutions that empower event organizers and attendees alike,” said Jason Caliento, Chief Commercial Officer, US at Boldyn Networks. “Our innovative model provides unparalleled support and service, ensuring every guest enjoys fast, reliable, and seamless Wi-Fi access. We are not only redefining what visitors can expect from a convention center but also setting a new standard for excellence in hosting events.” 

“At the Greater Columbus Convention Center, we are dedicated to offering top-tier facilities and services for our guests,” said Ryan Thorpe, GCCC Assistant General Manager. “This new connectivity solution from Boldyn Networks is a game-changer, ensuring that our visitors have access to the fast and reliable Wi-Fi network they expect. The ability for attendees to access premium Wi-Fi services at competitive rates, along with our dedicated on-site technicians, provides an unparalleled level of service and flexibility for event organizers.” 

The enhanced connectivity will play a key role in the GCCC’s commitment to providing world-class amenities and services. With these improvements, the venue is poised to attract even larger and more tech-driven events, reinforcing its position as a premier destination for national and international gatherings. Notably, marquis events at the convention center, such as the Arnold Sports Festival & Fitness Weekend, will benefit from these enhanced digital capabilities. 

The enhanced infrastructure is now live and available throughout the convention center, ensuring a best-in-class digital experience for all visitors and exhibitors.
