The Problems We Solve
Every environment is different. Here's how we handle the most common connectivity challenges in this sector.
The Problem
Temporary venues with no permanent infrastructure
We are fully self-sufficient at any venue, from permanent race circuits to temporary street-course events and outdoor arenas. All backhaul, switching, and wireless infrastructure is brought in by our team.
The Problem
Live timing systems are mission-critical — they cannot fail
Timing networks run on isolated, dedicated infrastructure with automatic failover. We have never had a timing system outage at a SmartWifi-managed event.
The Problem
Broadcast uplinks from multiple camera positions
Bonded 4G/5G uplinks via Kiloview P3 units at camera positions around the venue deliver reliable, low-latency contribution feeds to the broadcast gallery without depending on the venue's fixed infrastructure.
The Problem
Large crowds of fans and media overwhelming networks
Fan WiFi, media WiFi, and timing/broadcast networks operate on completely separate infrastructure with dedicated bandwidth — so a crowded grandstand never affects the timing system.
What We Cover
We've handled every scenario in this space. Here are the most common.
Motorsport & Circuit Events
Live timing, broadcast uplinks, hospitality WiFi, media centre, and paddock connectivity for race events. Permanent circuit or street course.
Athletics & Track
Timing system connectivity, broadcast uplinks, and spectator WiFi for athletics championships and track and field events.
Cycling Events
Mobile uplinks at finish lines and intermediate timing points for road races and time trials. Deployable at any location along a route.
Golf Tours
Temporary WiFi infrastructure across large golf courses including media centre, scoring, hospitality, and broadcast positions.
Rugby & Football
Temporary connectivity for events at non-permanent venues, or supplement to existing infrastructure at grounds during large events.
Sponsor Activations
High-density WiFi for sponsored fan zones, brand activations, and experiential spaces within sports venues.
