Thanks to the new event WLAN, digital event services can now be used at the Kalkscheune event location in Berlin.
When the Kalkscheune became the first Berlin machine factory in 1831, WiFi certainly not a big issue. Today, many years later, the building is used for congresses, conferences and cultural events. A modern WiFi infrastructure, of course. Whether social media , video streaming or digital payment – a professional event WiFi is the basis for all digital services.
We are therefore very pleased that we were able to support the Kalkscheune in its future WiFi for events. Of course, according to the most modern standard, because if event services or the internal organization rely on cloud services, this is WiFi as important as electricity. Or as the operators of the Kalkscheune themselves write in their blog: “A fast and safe WiFi -Connection is therefore just as much a part of the event as an atmospheric room, a set table and a smile at the reception.” We can agree with that.
Event-WiFi is more than just internet for guests
Internet access for guests is an important issue at events. After all, a data connection is required for the use of event apps or interactive elements such as voting. But the internal organization of events also largely takes place via online applications such as cloud storage, messengers or online task management.
The big advantage is that all data is always up to date and stored in a central location every second. During the event, tickets are validated online, guest lists are adjusted at short notice and the social media channel is used. What all of these applications have in common is their dependence on a stable data connection.
What is special about Event-WiFi?
Probably everyone has had to deal with a WiFi network. Whether at home, in the office or in a hotel. And you always expect that the login is quick and that the connection transfers all content quickly to your smartphone or laptop. If the connection is slow or even unstable, frustration quickly sets in. WiFi To function reliably, it must be adapted to the respective application.
While at home for about 1 – 4 people a FRITZ!Box and maybe a WiFi amplifiers for the socket are sufficient, hundreds or thousands of users must be supplied at events. The hardware used must withstand this load and the individual WiFi -Transmitters (access points) must not interfere with each other with their radio waves. In addition, the network must also be shielded against external, interfering radio waves and protected against attacks by hackers. WiFi for events therefore requires careful planning and professional setup so that everyone has fun in the end and program elements such as video streams run smoothly across the screens.
What is the first step for eventWiFi in a location?
If you would like to provide WiFi for your event location or an event, we will be happy to create a suitable concept for you. The first thing we do is discuss your requirements. How many users are expected on average, which services are to be used mainly and how large is the area to be illuminated? Once these and other questions have been answered, we will find the right solution for your project. Of course, it is also possible to permanently install an infrastructure for everyday use and to temporarily expand the network in times of particularly high utilization.
