Connectivity for event venues

Every event brings new organizers with new demands. Orders, payments and deliveries arrive over the internet. When it drops, the kitchen is busy and nobody can pay.

Internet, wireless and security for event venues

Each of the three has to be right, and they are usually bought from different companies. We compare them together.

Internet

Organizers expect bandwidth for streaming and presentations.

Wireless

Hundreds of devices connect at once, so the wireless must be designed for it.

Security

Guest networks have to be isolated from venue systems.

Article

The keynote was meant to be streamed

By the Telecom Agency advisory team

The organizer asked for a reliable connection for the live stream. The venue said yes. On the day, eight hundred guests joined the same Wi-Fi and the stream failed.

What a consultant changes

Telecom Agency helps venues offer dedicated bandwidth as a service they can charge for, with wireless designed for crowds. A broker can price that capacity from several carriers, and can advise how to write it into event contracts.
