The tenth FIS Ski Jumping World Cup for women – Ljubno 2021 – took place in Ljubno ob Savinji, Slovenia in January 2021. To ensure a fast, secure and reliable wireless network, Telekom Slovenije teamed up with Hewlett Packard operated by Selectium from Slovenia, and used the technology of the world’s leading network solution provider, Aruba, owned by Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

Telekom Slovenije is a leading Slovenian technology company and offers comprehensive ICT solutions and state-of-the-art networks. The project made use of Aruba AP-315 Wi-Fi 5 internal access points and Aruba AP-375 external access points to establish the FIS network at the Women’s Ski Jumping World Cup. The latter assemblies are IP66 / IP67 and ASTM B117-071 certified and are intended for use in bad weather conditions or in humid, dusty and salty environments and at extremely low or high temperatures.
