The Challenge
A high-profile leadership conference for 800 senior delegates required an enterprise-grade WiFi network with strict security requirements, including client isolation, content filtering, and a completely separate network for AV and presentation systems. The venue's existing infrastructure was insufficient for the delegate density.
The Solution
SmartWifi deployed a dedicated overlay network operating entirely independently of the venue WiFi. Two separate SSIDs — one for delegates, one for AV/production — were provided on isolated VLANs with individual bandwidth management policies. Bonded cellular provided uncontended backhaul for the event, removing any dependency on the venue's shared internet connection. A branded captive portal was deployed for delegate onboarding.
The Result
All 800 delegates connected successfully. AV and streaming systems operated without interference from delegate traffic. Conference live-streamed to remote offices across 12 countries with no interruptions.
