Bounce NZ Case Study

BounceNZ is a live audio production company that specializes in large-scale concerts, musical theatre, and corporate events. They provide both equipment and for-hire production services for well-known clients including Bob Dylan, Alanis Morissette, Lynyrd Skynyrd, the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, and more. BounceNZ uses audio tuning software to test their entire audio system, which connects to and tunes the audio network by connecting to it through WiFi. They required a powerful, long-range WiFi AP that would allow their systems engineers to roam around large venues to test that the audio is going where it is meant to go and can be properly tuned to optimize sound.

The Solution

The company was previously using Ubiquiti Rocket Aps however were finding it did not offer them the range, quality, and ease-of-use they needed. After analyzing Ubiquiti’s Unifi Mesh solution and APs from Mikrotik, BounceNZ chose Grandstream’s GWN7600LR. The company said they choose Grandstream’s long-range, weatherproof WiFi AP because it offered superior range, speed, and pricing while offering high-end functionality highlighted by built-in controllers and support of MESH networks.

The Result

“We were blown away with the ease of setup (especially for creating a mesh) and range of this unit! The 300m range is not an exaggeration and fills our needs perfectly. We were also impressed with being able to set up a master unit and the flexibility of the built-in management controller. Very handy not having to cart around another piece of equipment to act as a controller.”
