Event Wifi

The ISP (Internet Service Provider) is how the internet is delivered. Show Works uses 5G and Starlink to deliver internet for event WiFi. Based on the event and location, a combination or choice of either solution is chosen to deliver internet to site. 5G is often faster than Starlink, though is can be less reliable especially at sites with large foot fall (eg. festivals). Starlink offers internet virtually anywhere on the planet using its network of satellites, a perfect way to deploy an internet connection in any location where it may not have been possible before.

Bonding is where 2 or more internet connections are joined together to increase bandwidth. Show Works uses custom hardware both on site and in the cloud to achieve this. In a bonded internet system, data is sent from the devices within a network to the bonding router, this is then split down each respective internet connection. From here, this is then joined back up in the cloud on one of Show Works’ VPS (Virtual Private Servers). Using this method has many benefits; increasing the redundancy with multiple internet connections and increasing bandwidth by splitting data down many connections. Show Works’ bonding servers will still work should the VPS suffer issues too, offering another level of redundancy.

Access points deliver WiFi across the site. Show Works has a range of access points that work with the UniFi ecosystem, allowing quick deployment on site, either indoors or outdoors. Show Works chooses access points from Ubiquti’s UniFi range given their impressive, range, performance and industry standing.
