MONROE, La., June 22, 2017 /CNW/ -- Every year, Cisco
Live, Cisco's IT and communications conference, draws thousands of
attendees who expect seamless connectivity and always-on network
availability. CenturyLink, Inc. (NYSE: CTL) will help ensure this
comes to fruition for more than 28,000 expected conference-goers on
June 25-29 at Mandalay Bay in
Las Vegas.
CenturyLink will support the Cisco Live Network Operations
Center (NOC), delivering technology, monitoring, and control as
well as expert on-site staff to enable high availability during the
conference. CenturyLink has proudly supported the Cisco Live U.S.
NOC since 2011.
This year's deployment will be one of the largest total
transport capacities for a trade show, providing bandwidth totaling
557 gigabits of connectivity. Additionally, one event during Cisco
Live will be held at the T-Mobile Arena, where CenturyLink has been
delivering network connectivity since the venue opened last
year.
"We have a strong track record for building high-capacity
networks designed to handle very challenging scenarios," said
Bill Hurley, chief marketing
officer, CenturyLink. "Conference-goers expect to stay connected to
the digital world, and CenturyLink understands what it takes to
deliver dynamic networks that meet stringent demands. We are proud
to deliver this service."
CenturyLink works closely with the Cisco Live program team to
build highly resilient scalable solutions on-site that deliver on
