The Challenge

Client Requirements

Mission Media required a temporary wireless solution for an event they were hosting at the Old Collins Music Hall, Islington. The exclusive Veuve Clicquot Widow Series event attracted 300 visitors, twice daily, all of whom would potentially buy champagne – so payment capabilities were essential to the job.

Foreseen Challenges

The venue, being a concrete structure, with the event three levels underground, provides a unique connectivity challenge in itself. Following a site survey to prove adequate network speeds were achievable, the requirement was increased to include guest WiFi service during the event.

The Solution

Solution Proposed

Fli-Fi’s event connect service was built to span all 4 floors of the Old Collins Music Hall, as well as an underground car park where the production team were based. Connectivity to the internet was achieved by 4G routers on the ground floor, and the service was distributed from there throughout the site. Networks for payments, production and guests were separated to ensure priority service for payments and the production team.

Installation Process

On-site installation was carried out by Fli-Fi engineers prior to the event, with testing and commissioning included, to ensure a smooth go-live.

Support Given

Both on-site and remote support was provided for this job, with on-site support requested during critical event days.

Outcome

Our event connect service supported all three networks across the site with uninterrupted, reliable service for the duration of the event. Payments could be taken without failure and guests could post about the event on social media, heightening brand awareness. The production team was able to enjoy a stress-free experience and focus on the event experience, looking after their client and guests rather, than worrying about the connectivity.
"The team at Fli-Fi are extremely helpful, super reliable, friendly and turn things around very quickly. I would 100% recommend using them for projects."
