What type of internet do I need for my event?
Updated over 6 years ago

Depending on what you are doing we recommend the following with the internet:

Screen Displays: Social Media Wall

  • Hardwired Line: ethernet cable with 3Mbps download speed is recommended. 

  • Displays that include photos and videos should have a dedicated line, because there will be a lot of content moving. 

  • Displays such as Twitter Metrics or Social Media Leaderboards can share or hardware line OR use dedicated wifi. 

All Other Displays: Audience Response Results, Prize Wheel, Trivia Leaderboard, etc.

  • Hardwired Line: ethernet cable with 3Mbps download speed is recommended. 

  • Dedicated wifi can be used. 

  • Dynamic IP is sufficient (Static IP is not necessary)

  • We do not recommend putting the display computer on the same wifi as all of your event attendees.

Tablet Apps:  Trivia iPad, Virtual Prize Wheel iPad or Audience Response Kiosk Mode

  • In some venues hot spots work very well. 

  • If hotspots don't work in your venue - try wifi on a dedicated network

  • Dynamic IP is sufficient (Static IP is not necessary)

App: Audience Response

  • If your event is offering bandwidth, you can use the PSAV bandwidth calculator to estimate your capacity needs: http://www.psav.com/bandwidth_estimator/

  • Dedicated wifi can be used. 

  • Please remember that many attendees will use cell service.

App: Lead Manager

  • Your Phone's cell service or event wifi is sufficient.
