The organiser of Hillhead 2022 has confirmed an ambitious site-development programme for this summer’s event. The new moves will see hard-wired fibre-optic broadband installed strategically across the quarrying, construction, and recycling exhibition‘s site.

The new solution will deliver three times the bandwidth provided at the last event, increasing capacity from 300mb to more than a gigabit.

Richard Bradbury, event director of Hillhead, explained: “The application of digital tools in quarrying and construction is becoming increasingly prevalent, so it’s important that Hillhead keeps ahead of the curve, enabling our exhibitors to showcase the latest technology available to the industry.

“This investment will allow exhibitors to book more powerful Internet packages at a lower cost than before. Free Wi-Fi hotspots will also be available around the site for visitors to download their e-mails and go online.”
