The remote location and sheer numbers of festival goers poses significant challenges for reliable internet connectivity. This year, thanks to the innovative efforts of KTI and X-Net, those challenges were met head-on.
When Psiphon approached KTI with a unique request to develop a proof of concept (POC) for secure and reliable connectivity at Glastonbury, KTI’s CEO saw an opportunity to showcase the company’s capabilities on an international stage. Recognizing the need for a local partner, KTI reached out to X-Net to create a robust solution that could meet the festival’s complex requirements.
The project, completed in just four weeks, showcased the combined strengths of both companies. KTI led the development of the technology stack, leveraging their expertise in secure, scalable IT infrastructure. X-Net contributed their local knowledge, configuration, build and testing, and access to the location.
One of the most critical aspects of the project was the seamless export of equipment from Canada to the UK. KTI’s CEO personally oversaw this process, ensuring that all necessary documentation was in order and coordinating with customs officials. Thanks to this hands-on approach, the equipment cleared customs in just two days, a remarkable achievement given the tight timeline.
