But how do we do it?
Your event location may provide us with a
healthy challenge, and we thrive on a
challenge, our first step is to get internet to
your venue.
When there is no pre-existing connection, or no
suitable pre-existing connection, which is often
the case, we need to find the right way to
provide good coverage to your event.

Latest Satellite
Technology
5
We use the most modern satellite technology
available, levering one of 64 focussed spot beams
across Europe, transmitted by a broadband only
satellite with an earth hub in Germany.
We pick up the spot beam with our self-powered,
vehicle based satellite dish and sixteen foot mast
and re-broadcast this for your event. As long as we
can see the sky this type of technology will work
anywhere in the world - okay maybe the odd spot
on the polar ice caps is a little wobbly..!
We use this satellite option on a daily basis and
have successful deployments at events like Le
Mans, Moto GP and Glastonbury.

Is Latency an issue here?
6
Latency can manifest in a delay, just like
watching a live news interview. As they converse
with the studio and the reporter you will notice a
tangible delay from the question being asked to
receiving the answer.
The same thing can happen with satellite
internet, we are prepared for this. Get Me
Connected have some clever trade secrets to
improve things, we will talk about those later on.

4G and 3G
Yes, we can use the same signal your smartphone uses to
get you a data signal on the move. And indeed, you may
question, with data on the move readily available to all,
why would you need our equipment?
Part of what you are looking to achieve is connecting
people to YOUR system, providing a service to your
attendees, and indeed attracting them.You can save
valuable data charges or allowances, allow international
clients the opportunity of free internet with paying roaming
charges and give yourself a powerful marketing tool.
7
4G and 3G begin to fail when you get a lot of users
together in the same place, the system cannot
cope. Providing a quality internet connection at a
busy event, or an event where usage maybe
higher - like a conference, will ultimately give a
better experience to the end customer.
Could you survive a festival for a weekend without
internet?We firmly believe now that connectivity
at a festival is just as important as toilets!

Wireless Bridges
Wireless Bridges are an excellent option
but requires an existing quality internet
connection a few tens of meters away or
many kilometres away.
It is very much a line of site system and
would always require a site survey.

ADSL/VDSL
Technologies that you will normally use
at home are not always suited to large
scale events, but may be an option in the
right scenario.
ADSL/VDSL needs a fixed phone line, so
no good for the middle of a field or a
popup event in the middle of the street.
There are often minimum contract
lengths as well of a year or more, so this
can soon become very expensive.

There are a few pitfalls which
we are more than ready for:
• Wi-Fi was not designed to be used by lots of people
at the same time, congestion can occur
• There are not many channels of Wi-Fi you can use
on the common 2.4Ghz spectrum
• Not everyone knows how to access a Wi-Fi hotspot
12
13. www.get-me-connected.com Event wifi-anytime-anywhere
We are Wi-Fi experts and understand
the technology like no other
• The smallest access point we have is capable of
connecting 480 users at the same time, this is on the
2.4Ghz spectrum and also the newer 5Ghz spectrum
• 2.4 only allows for 3 channels to be used
• 5Ghz has many more channels available which are
compatible with the majority of mobile devices

Coverage
14
Some events will only need one zone of Wi-Fi, others wider
coverage. It might not be cost effective to have blanket
coverage of an event or you may want to consider defined
Wi-Fi zones to channel your customers to a location, like
food and drink areas or an information booth.
For a large event the Wi-Fi Access points can be deployed
indoors or outdoors and require only a power connection
and line of site to our portable Wi-Fi tower.

Coverage
15
YourWi-Fi connection can have any name you
like, maybe the event name or the name of the
sponsor.You can have multiple names too, for
staff and contractors that need access.
We will work with you to discover which
options are best, and the optimum way to
deliver yourWi-Fi connection, whilst making it
as easy as possible for users to connect.

So that’s the technology covered, what makes
Get Me Connected’sWi-Fi so special?
At an event people often
download the same things from
the internet, maybe the
sponsor’s website or an event
app. We can store these offline
so they are loaded faster on the
user’s device. Preventing those
issues of latency we mentioned.
16
We can also send different
traffic down different
internet lines for optimum
performance. Or restrict
download speed and filter
out unwanted traffic like
adverts and streaming.
Data capture is so useful,
you want to know who is
using yourWi-Fi and maybe
push marketing out to them.

So what about marketing
to Wi-Fi users?
17
This is where some of the really clever stuff
begins, and where you can begin to see
excellent ROI for your Wi-Fi project.
Users can either complete a form to allow them to
connect to your Wi-Fi or use one of the many social media
platforms available to “Login via Facebook” for example.

So what about marketing
to Wi-Fi users?
18
…Once a user has registered you can see a
range of information about their usage…
…. If they use Facebook, for example, you
can see their likes and interests, encourage
them to like your page, and market to them
with real time messages and promotions.
