Live event Internet network planning can get quite complex. That’s why live event organizers often don’t know what their technology needs are. And they often don’t have a firm handle on what’s realistic or unrealistic with technology and aren’t fully informed on the associated cost structure of that technology.
That means you need more than just a vendor to cobble together your live event Internet and network infrastructure. The ideal solution? Someone you can rely on as your industry expert technology partner who will always act in your best interest with full transparency, especially when you’re running multiple or even a season full of events. You’ll assume a huge risk with a lot at stake when attempting to rely on an unknown vendor. You need a technology partner you can trust. That really begins with a competent partner who’s not afraid to clearly articulate unbiased views and opinions that will result in doing what’s right for your customers and your events.
The following are just a few of the many benefits you’ll experience with a technology partnership:
There are many ways in which a technology partner differs from an internet vendor, including:
One example that demonstrates the expertise and benefits of working with a technology partner is that of a live event client:
A potential festival client is planning to deploy Attendee WiFi for 20,000 users. The client believes that they require 5 Gbps of Internet transport, but brings on a technology partner to verify their live event needs. Through an initial assessment of the event, the technology partner defines the expected density based upon the festival footprint, the WiFi operational areas, the RF conditions and the available infrastructure to install devices. Moreover, the partner determines that 2.5Gbps is sufficient to meet the client’s event needs. Ultimately this results in significant savings (thousands of dollars) depending on the event’s local carrier options.
