What is Event WiFi?

Event WiFi refers to a temporary wireless internet setup designed to provide high-speed, stable connectivity for guests, staff, and presenters at events such as conferences, festivals, trade shows, corporate meetings, live streams and roadshows.

Key Features of Event WiFi:

1. High-Speed & Reliable Connection – Supports large numbers of users without lag.

2. Custom Network Setup – Can include public (guest) and private (staff or VIP) networks.

3. Scalability – Can handle a few dozen to thousands of simultaneous connections.

4. Security Features – Offers password protection, firewalls, and encrypted connections to prevent unauthorized access.

5. Branded Captive Portals – Some setups include a login page with sponsor branding or data collection features.

How It’s Provided:

Fixed Line & Fiber – If the venue has an existing high-speed internet connection, event WiFi can be set up using routers and access points.

Mobile WiFi (4G/5G Hotspots) – Uses cellular networks to provide internet in remote or temporary locations.

Satellite Internet – Used for outdoor or rural events where other options are unavailable.

Radio-Planned WiFi Networks – Multiple access points work together to expand coverage over a large area.

Why Event WiFi is Important:

• Ensures smooth event operations (e.g., ticket scanning, live streaming, point-of-sale systems).

• Allows attendees to stay connected (social media sharing, networking apps, video calls).

• Supports exhibitors, speakers, and VIPs with dedicated high-speed connections.
