To ensure a seamless experience for attendees using the Nunify event app, having the right Wi-Fi setup and bandwidth allocation is essential. Below are the key factors to consider:
1. Ideal Bandwidth Per Attendee
For optimal performance, the recommended bandwidth per attendee is at least 0.25 Mbps. However, for events with high engagement (e.g., live streaming, interactive features, or heavy media uploads), allocating 0.5 Mbps or more per attendee is advisable.
2. Wi-Fi Network Setup & Access Point Distribution
A stable and well-distributed Wi-Fi network is critical to ensuring attendees can connect without issues. Consider the following best practices:
Evenly Distribute Access Points: Position Wi-Fi access points strategically across the venue to avoid congestion and ensure equal load distribution.
Avoid Overloading a Single Access Point: Each access point should support a limited number of concurrent users to prevent slow speeds or disconnections.
Use Dual-Band (2.4GHz & 5GHz) Networks: Encourage attendees to connect to the 5GHz band for a faster and more stable connection.
Reduce Interference: Avoid placing access points near physical obstructions like thick walls, metal structures, or electronic equipment that can interfere with the signal.
3. Additional Considerations for Large-Scale Events
Dedicated Bandwidth for Event Operations: If event organizers, exhibitors, or speakers require internet for streaming, presentations, or demonstrations, allocate a separate dedicated network to avoid interference with attendee usage.
Monitor Network Traffic: Use network monitoring tools to track bandwidth usage in real time and make adjustments as needed.
Backup Internet Connection: Consider having a secondary ISP connection as a failover to avoid disruptions.
By ensuring proper bandwidth allocation and optimal network setup, organizers can enhance the overall event experience, keeping attendees engaged and connected without interruptions.
