COVINGTON, Ky., June 9--STEP CG, Where Innovation Meets Execution, today officially announced that it will be providing the 5G LAN and Wi-Fi throughout Cincinnati’s Ault Park at the 45th annual Concours d’Elegance, Sunday, June 11, 2023 with this year’s Featured Marque: 75 Years of Porsche, and Special Displays for Corvette’s 75th Anniversary and the VW Beetle’s 85th Anniversary.
Concours d’Elegance is a nationally recognized car show that highlights some of the most spectacular automobiles and motorcycles of all time. 225 premier collector vehicles will be on display this year in the formal gardens of historic Ault Park, with a classic pavilion overlooking the show field.
From the art show to the brunch and craft beer garden, STEP CG’s “COW” (Cell-on-Wheels) mobile cell site will be there to ensure Concours d’Elegance attendees will enjoy strong cell signals for every need. In addition to improving the guest experience, the 5G LAN and Wi-Fi connectivity provided by the STEP CG COW will also be powering all of the point-of-sale systems for each booth for seamless and reliable transactions, thanks to 5G connectivity.
“Our COW leads the herd as the perfect solution for big events like the Concours d’Elegance Show because it can be transported over large distances throughout Ault Park, and on rough terrain,” said Ed Walton, CEO of STEP CG. “It can be left on-site as needed for 5G connectivity where you need it, when you need it. It’s another best-in-breed asset that drives real business outcomes for our customers and festival attendees.
For over 40 years, Concours has assembled leading collectors to showcase their museum-quality vehicles. Enthusiasts of all ages can participate in one-of-a-kind experiences, connect with one another, engage owners about their vehicles, and enjoy art and entertainment.
"Due to lack of adequate bandwidth and unreliable digital connectivity at our event’s Ault Park location, the Cincinnati Concours Technology Committee was challenged to implement important processes needed for the success of our program,” said Wes Spryshak of the Cincinnati Concours d’Elegance Foundation. “When they learned of our situation, the team at STEP CG got involved, analyzed the problem, knocked down the barriers, and is providing the effective solution for our event’s success," added Spryshak.
Concours is a place where automotive passion comes to life―all for a good cause. Proceeds from the weekend’s events benefit Juvenile Arthritis. More than 225 museum-quality cars and motorcycles in all will be on display, so reserve your tickets now through https://www.showclix.com/events/25004. For more information visit www.ohioconcours.com
“It’s an honor for STEP CG to be trusted with all forms of connectivity for each event from the Show itself to the Brunch, Craft Beer Garden, Will Sherman Automotive Art Show, including media, video loggers, vendors, public Wi-Fi for a crowd of thousands of folks, along with security. The 2023 Concours d’Elegance promises to be the best one yet,” added Walton.
