Event WiFi with Peplink and Starlink
EVCO recently provided WiFi for a customer event held in a field, using a combination of Starlink satellite connectivity and Peplink technology. This set up supported a live stream in 4K resolution with perfect lip sync, no lag and no interruptions.
Guests enjoyed a rock steady connection throughout the week, with failover options in place to ensure the service would continue even if a single link had failed.
Events like this highlight the importance of reliable connectivity beyond the traditional office. When an organisation depends on streaming content to a live audience, there is no room for delay or buffering. The combination of Starlink and Peplink gave us the flexibility to deliver enterprise grade reliability in a location that would normally have limited or no connectivity. The result was a seamless experience for both the organisers and the audience.
The importance of dependable internet access is not limited to special events. Research shows that UK businesses lose more than £11 billion each year due to internet downtime, with SMEs being particularly vulnerable as they often lack backup options.
For a live event, the cost is reputational as much as financial. When a stream fails or the guest network drops out, confidence is lost quickly. By engineering resilience into the setup with multiple technologies and automated failover, we gave our customer peace of mind and their audience a flawless experience.
This is a perfect example of how new connectivity solutions can open doors that would have been impossible only a few years ago. From pop up venues to rural locations, organisations now have options to connect, perform and deliver with the same confidence they expect in the city or the office.
