Hampton Downs Motorsport Park   

    New Zealand's newest North Island motor racing facility + events/convention centre, situated 60 km south of Auckland and 65 km north of Hamilton.

Hampton Downs incorporates leading edge communications technologies including an IPTV system.

Satellite & digital terrestrial receive systems were installed by Event Communications to provide reception of SKY & FTA Networks (Freeview) for ingest into the IPTV system.
Installation/wall mounting of televisions & associated IPTV set top boxes was completed by ECL personnel through many of the 80 apartments.

At the "VIP Petfoods 12 hour" race held in August 2011, Event Communications provided linking facilities to allow "live timing" through the 80 apartments via the IPTV system.
Temporary WiFi hot-spots (Ruckus AP's) were also installed to provide wireless connectivity to pit garages & paddock area allowing access to the track timing feed + internet.
