Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on the number of attendees, concurrent usage patterns, and applications in use. A typical festival needs 0.5–2 Mbps per concurrent user, while a live broadcast may need 50–100+ Mbps dedicated upload. Our bandwidth estimator calculates your exact requirements based on your event profile.
Router count depends on total bandwidth needed, coverage area, and user density. A single enterprise-grade router typically supports 50–100 concurrent users with adequate bandwidth. Our estimator factors in your specific requirements to recommend an accurate router count and optimal placement strategy.
Total attendees is everyone at your event, while concurrent users is the percentage actively using WiFi at any given moment. At festivals, typically 30–40% of attendees are online simultaneously. At exhibitions, this rises to 60–80% as most are actively using devices for demos, email, and social media.
Costs vary based on bandwidth requirements, event duration, and location. A small exhibition might cost from £500/day while a major festival could be £2,000–5,000+/day. Our estimator provides a rough daily cost based on your specific requirements, and we can provide a detailed quote within 24 hours.
