DB will spend the next eight months installing and managing a temporary infrastructure for the trade exhibition, which opens to the general public on its final two days for aerial displays, rides and flight simulators.
The renewed contract marks the second consecutive time DB has provided the network, which will be used by more than 350 companies and the 130,000 public who visit the show.
It will cater to large upload requirements of journalists at the show and offer wifi, voice over IP and live video streaming.
DB managing director David Bulley said the current hardware rollout was just one aspect of the contract: "The main part of our job will be the on-site support. We will have thousands of end users arriving over a two-day period. Our technicians will have to ensure that everyone can get online, sort out their VPNs, use their phones and send and receive emails from the moment the show starts."
He added: "The impact of our network design at the 2010 event can be measured by the fact that companies maintained their ability to do business during that week and operate as if they were in their own offices."
