Providing reliable event WiFi can be a challenge, especially for large-scale gatherings in unique or historic venues. The Sledmere House Christmas Fair, with its beautiful but challenging location, required an expert solution to keep traders and visitors connected during one of the busiest shopping periods of the year. Reliable connectivity was also critical to enable smooth operation of cashless payment systems, which have become a necessity for modern events.
The Challenges of Delivering Event WiFi:
- Thick Stone Walls: Sledmere House’s historic architecture created barriers for WiFi signal penetration.
- No 4G Signal: With no mobile data available in the area, satellite internet was essential.
- Temporary Installation: As a seasonal event, we had to avoid permanent cable runs.
- High Demand: The number of users accessing the WiFi significantly exceeded the original specification.
These challenges made it clear that delivering fast, reliable, and secure WiFi for events would require careful planning and execution.
How We Delivered Exceptional Event WiFi and Supported Cashless Payments:
We installed multiple access points throughout the venue to ensure strong, stable coverage across two large barns filled with traders and exhibitors. Our solution enabled traders to rely on cashless payment systems to process sales efficiently and securely. Our team provided:
- Consultation and Planning: Tailored to the specific needs of the event.
- Onsite Installation and Support: Ensuring seamless connectivity for all users.
- Remote Monitoring and Support: On the second day, we monitored connections remotely, managing the network via our access point control system.
