Assess Your Event’s WiFi Requirements

The first step in setting up broadband for your event is to understand the specific needs. Begin by working out the number of attendees expected, as this will directly affect the amount of bandwidth required. A general estimate is to plan for each user to have at least one device, most likely a smartphone. Next, consider the type of internet usage you expect. For example, is it an event with lots of interactive online activities for your attendees?

Streaming video, uploading photos, and accessing cloud-based services will demand more bandwidth than basic activities like checking emails or browsing the web. Additionally, the event’s location plays a crucial role in determining the kind of equipment and service needed. Whether your event is indoors or outdoors, in a bustling city or a remote rural area, these factors will affect your event broadband setup.

Choose the Right Service Provider

Once you’ve assessed your needs, the next step is to choose a service provider. It’s important to select a provider with experience in delivering event internet services, as not all providers offer the same level of service or reliability. Wildanet is one such provider that offers tailored event WiFi solutions.

We deliver high-speed internet to remote and rural areas, making us a go-to choice for a wide range of small and large-scale events. Our solutions are also scalable, allowing you to adjust the bandwidth according to your specific requirements, ensuring that you only pay for what you need.

Plan for Connectivity Challenges

For events to operate efficiently, especially in remote areas, it’s important to plan for potential connectivity issues. Having a backup internet connection can be a lifesaver if something goes wrong, and choosing a provider with strong support options—both on-site and remote—ensures any hiccups are quickly handled. 

For example, Wildanet offers real-time network monitoring and dedicated support that can really make a difference. Also, don’t forget about power needs! It’s a good idea to make sure you have a reliable power source and consider backup options like portable generators or even solar panels, especially for outdoor events.

Enhance the Guest Experience

Event WiFi is not just about keeping people connected; it can enhance the overall experience. Ensure WiFi coverage is strong throughout the venue, particularly in high-traffic areas like registration desks or main stages. Performing speed tests before the event starts can help you check the network’s performance and make necessary adjustments. To further engage your guests, consider offering incentives like free downloads or exclusive content, encouraging them to use the event WiFi and interact more with your event.

Review and Improve

After the event, take the time to review the WiFi performance. Gathering feedback from attendees about their experiences can provide valuable insights. Discussing what worked well and what could be improved with your provider will help you refine your approach for future events.
