The client

The Australian Grand Prix has run at Albert Park in Melbourne since 1996, and for most of its years there it has opened the Formula 1 season, a slot it returned to in 2025. For WRSTBND, it was a first deployment on another continent.

The challenge

Stand up access control and credentialing for a first-year build halfway around the world, every device shipped in and configured on the ground.

Our approach

We air-freighted 20 NTR-6 portals, handhelds, and seven ZC10L printers to Melbourne, then ran wrstSCN access and Manifest credentialing for roughly 25,000 people across the park circuit.

The results

WRSTBND stood up a 25,000-person access and credentialing operation on another continent in year one: gear flown in, configured on-site, live on schedule.
