The Problem: Connectivity Challenges at Outdoor Events
If you’ve organized an outdoor event, you’re familiar with the significant internet connectivity hurdles that come with the job. From working in remote locations with limited or no existing infrastructure for wired or wireless internet to being in the center of the most congested networks where high attendee density overwhelms traditional cellular networks and leads to slow speeds and dropped connections, connectivity is often slow or nonexistent.
Poor internet connections create a domino effect of problems. The operational dependencies on the internet to run an event are numerous, including using online ticketing platforms, point-of-sale systems for vendors, parking systems, and more. In addition, attendees have high expectations and expect seamless connectivity, not just to enter the event and make purchases but also to share their experiences on social media, access event apps, or participate in interactive activities.
Without a connectivity solution, these challenges can lead to delays, frustrated attendees, and lost revenue opportunities.
The Solution: AttendStar’s Briefcase Kit
AttendStar’s satellite connectivity feature addresses these pain points with cutting-edge technology. The Briefcase Kit is a portable battery-powered solution designed to provide reliable, high-speed connectivity for outdoor events. No other ticketing provider offers a connectivity option like it!
Here’s what makes Briefcase Kit so useful for event organizers:
1. Reliable Connectivity Anywhere
The Briefcase Kit ensures greater than 99.5% uptime, making it ideal for events in highly congested cities or remote locations where traditional internet options are unavailable or unreliable. Whether you’re hosting an air show in a rural area or a festival in a park, you’ll have dependable internet access.
2. Seamless Operations
Consistent connectivity is critical to ensure your event runs seamlessly and safely. Local emergency services rely on it to respond quickly to incidents, and at air shows, the air boss and air operations need reliable internet access to monitor everything from active taxiways and runways to surrounding air show demonstration areas. One small delay in communications caused by connectivity issues could cause operational and safety problems.
Briefcase Kit improves operations for event staff and vendors as well. With a consistent high-speed internet connection at your fingertips, you can confidently:
- Process ticket sales and scans without delays.
- Enable vendors to complete transactions smoothly.
- Stream live performances or demonstrations without interruptions.
This reliability reduces downtime and ensures your event runs like clockwork.
3. Enhanced Attendee and Sponsor Experiences
Attendees expect fast internet connections to share their experiences online, engage with event content, and stay connected with their networks. This is especially important if social media influencers or performers with large audiences are in attendance who could be sharing content during the event. A strong connection improves their overall satisfaction and is vital to creating positive word-of-mouth marketing for your event.
For sponsors, faster and more reliable connectivity improves experiences in sponsored areas, tents, and private chalets where guests can enjoy streaming, WiFi, and other internet access without concerns about lag or dropped service.
4. Cost Efficiency
Traditional solutions like running cables or relying on cellular networks can be expensive and unreliable in outdoor settings. Even renting a cell on wheels (COW) can cost thousands or tens of thousands of dollars and require a large truck with a trailer to haul equipment that is 60’ to more than 150’ and weighs hundreds or thousands of pounds.
Compare those options to AttendStar’s satellite connectivity solution, which offers a cost-effective and compact alternative by eliminating the need for extensive infrastructure while delivering superior performance.
5. Scalability
AttendStar’s mesh network support that comes with Briefcase Kit allows you to expand coverage across large event spaces as needed, accommodating larger crowds without compromising speed or reliability.
