The details that go into planning a wifi event can seem like a giant task. Many venues aren’t equipped with enough wifi to handle the demands of your guests for a concert, conference or whatever you plan to set up. Yet wifi is nothing short of required by most of your guests, especially attendees and hosts who need to carry out operations on a portable device. So how do you accommodate for the huge amount of bandwidth?
That’s where temporary services comes in. IT service providers set up temporary wifi wherever you’re hosting for even 100,000 people. Here are three basic things to keep in mind when hiring temporary IT service providers.
Know the Venue
How large is your venue? Where are your potential dead spots? If it’s an outdoor venue, could anything block the signal from the transmitter, such as a large truck? Microwaves, furniture and architectural nuances can all block the strength of the signal for your wifi event.
Know What Your Crowd Wants
Why is your audience attending your big event? Are they tech-savvy and likely to bring along wifi-friendly devices they need access to? Are they a young, urban crowd or older business-oriented group? Estimate how many of your attendees will be on a portable device and consider their likelihood of downloading, uploading and streaming.
Make Safety Precautions
When you’re running your wifi event, you’re also opening your network up to potential viruses. Make sure you have the right malware in place to prevent any cyber attacks or virus uploads. Also, be on the lookout for identity theft and keep all websites secure.
