Common Questions
A hire kit is a self-service plug-and-play WiFi router we deliver to you. You plug it in and it works within 5 minutes — no IT experience required. A managed deployment means our engineers come to your site, install the network infrastructure, configure VLANs and segmentation, and monitor it 24/7 throughout your event. Managed deployments are recommended for large venues needing site-wide coverage.
You need satellite connectivity when your venue has weak or no mobile signal — typically remote rural locations, greenfield sites, or areas with heavy signal congestion. Our #simpliconnected pro-sat uses LEO satellite with a self-aligning antenna delivering up to 200 Mbps down and 50 Mbps up. It requires a clear, unobstructed view of the sky.
The base #simpliconnected supports up to 50 devices and is ideal for small events or single stands. The Plus adds a 5-hour backup battery and rugged casing — perfect for outdoor events where power isn’t guaranteed. The Pro bonds up to 8 connections for 500 devices and is built for large events and live broadcasts. This recommender tool matches your answers to the right tier automatically.
Absolutely. Many clients start with hire kits for smaller events and upgrade to managed deployments as their events grow. We can also combine hire kits with managed infrastructure — for example, self-service units for backstage areas with a managed network for the main site. Talk to us about a blended approach.
