International Telecommunication Union Selects Xirrus for High Density Wi-Fi in Geneva, Switzerland






The International Conference Centre Geneva is owned by the Building Foundation for International Organizations (FIPOI), statutory independent foundation created in 1964 by the Swiss Confederation and the State of Geneva. The CICG was inaugurated in 1974 and was built by the FIPOI to accommodate international conferences at governmental levels of a political, economic, technical or scientific nature as well as private congresses of any kind. Between October 2004 and October 2005, the original construction was entirely renovated and its capacity enlarged. A new extended entrance and an innovative, flexible multi-purpose area, among other state-of-the-art improvements, make it the ideal venue for a wide range of events. Xirrus Arrays were also deployed throughout the meeting and conference areas of the International Telecommunication Union located next door to the CICG.
