This document provides guidance on assessing WiFi needs for events and questions to ask venues to determine if their WiFi infrastructure can adequately support an event's requirements. It outlines that WiFi is now essential for events and discusses factors like bandwidth, number of devices, and applications that impact needs. The document advises consulting an expert, performing a WiFi audit of venues, and asking venues 20+ detailed technical questions about their WiFi capabilities, support during events, bandwidth, coverage, and backup plans. It also recommends asking for reports and references from past similar events at venues.
Growth of WiFi in enterprises has been driven by an increased use of mobile devices and BYOD trends, as well as a surge in technological advancements such as the Internet of Things which demand more flexible connectivity than wired alone can offer. This, combined with consumer pressure for public WiFi hotspots, means that wireless LAN connectivity has become a standard expectation on across the board.
This presentation will cover the architectures for deploying high density zones, residential community services and show how both of these converge for user authentication using Passpoint technologies, how the arrival of ANDSF network selection servers and clients can be used to direct users to the best connection at any time and how SON solutions are needed to manage this ever growing mix of deployment options Service Providers are facing, making it more and more complex for users to know where to connect.

Introduction
Imagine working on your laptop or checking
e-mailfrom anywhere in the department.
Now , imagine
doing all thesethings
easily and quickly,
withoutworrying
about finding a wired
network connection.
That is Wi-Fi !
What is Wi-Fi?
Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) is a generic term that refers to the IEEE 802.11 communications standard for Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs).
Wireless Technology is an alternative to Wired Technology, which is commonly used, for connecting devices in wireless using radio waves.
Allows you to access the Internet while on the move ; you can remain online while moving from one area to another, without a disconnection or loss in coverage
IEEE 802.11 Standard
In 1997, the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) drafted the 802.11 standard for wireless local area networking.
In 1999, networking hardware companies accepted the standard and began manufacturing products using the 802.11b protocol which operated in the 2.4 GHz range and was capable of transmitting at speeds of 11 Mbps.
The 802.11a protocol was also released in 1999, operating at 5 GHz with transmissions speeds of 54 Mbps, but its cost was high.
What is a Hotspot ?
A Hotspot is any location where Wi-Fi network access is made publicly available.
Hotspots are equipped with a Broadband Internet connection, and one or more Access Points that allow users to access the Internet wirelessly.
Hotspots can be setup in any public location that can support an Internet connection.
How a Wi-Fi network works?
A Wi-Fi connection works
through a transmitting antenna,
which is usually connected to a
DSL or cable Internet connection.
The antenna on the router will
then beam radio signals through
a specific range. Another antenna,
which is on the laptop or personal
computer, receives the signal.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
Â
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more âmechanicalâ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Â
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Introduction Youâll need a fixed Internet connection
too for web streaming and hybrid
events. And some of your fixed and
WiFi requirements demand
In todayâs world almost no event can be successful without individually discreet segmentation.
the aid of WiFi and other technology. WiFi networks at
events and tradeshows are becoming more and more
crowded as attendees use an ever-greater number of 3G/4G
and WiFi enabled devices including smartphones, tablets,
cameras and laptops.
You will need decent Internet and WiFi connections in order to:
access event apps, cloud-based services, email (and its large
file attachments), the web; to network, message, tweet,
generate photo uploads and view video clips. High bandwidth
and low latency (the time it takes networks to respond to
requests) are necessary infrastructure components to ensure
a successful audience experience.
The richer the content (video and photos) the more devices
the more the Internet and WiFi demands.
3. At a 5 star hotel using a âquick and dirtyâ
mobile/web app called speedtest.net
WiFi was measured as follows:
WiFi for events Location
Ballroom
Reception
Download Upload
11:00 MBPS
4:31 MBPS
5.12 MBPS
0:72 MBPS
The majority of hotels that offer WiFi only for example, Meeting Room 0:02 MBPS 0:34 MBPS
have a public WiFi service running over a single The Ballroom may be suitable for 100 people with
light usage, but even this check is no guarantee of

Then the next venue I visited, the Hilton Metropole
in London, offers 100Mb (Upload & Download) across
This is adequate for a handful of business people in the whole hotel â more than enough for guests and
most events.
the bar but not for 500 delegates in a coffee break all
trying to check email.
The bottom line, WiFi is no longer an optional perk
you may or may not offer at your next event.
Itâs a must. In 99% of scenarios a venueâs WiFi
will probably NOT be fine, itâs not designed,
configured, installed or managed to meet
your requirements. It should not be seen
as a utility - even if there are times
when thatâs what we want.
4. A poor WiFi experience
reflects on your brand
As the number of wireless devices grows exponentially,
so do the expectations of your attendees.
Poor WiFi can do more than create a bad user experience;
it reflects poorly on your brand, it can make attendees
disappear in search of a better connection, or even
stop them from attending the event at all if they think
their productivity will be limited.
Bad WiFi can also ruin a keynote and ruin exhibitor
interaction â along with your reputation.
5. WiFi Horror Story
An organisation contracted their meeting space, accommodation
and F&B requirements. Then they turned to their production
and content requirements. Event apps and a mini expo meant they
had heavy Internet/WiFi requirements.
To get the right Internet solution, the organiser was quoted $80,000!
Lessons:
1. Know what the technical requirements are at the outset
2. Pick a venue fit for purpose
3. a Broadband audit done and cost out any upgrade before
Get
you contract
4. Factor this new knowledge into your venue/technology
partner negotiation. The venue will probably point you
to possible Broadband providers and disclaim
responsibility for such additional costs
5. you can, contract with the venue the precise level of
If
Broadband you require
6. Ensure it is dedicated to your event and not shared with others
6. Trying to calculate your Internet/
WiFi requirements
Because every venue has its own unique characteristics,
and every event has technology and attendees with varying
needs, there is no simple formula you can use to ensure a
great event WiFi experience.
7. WiFi Calculator
At AddingValue we have created our own ârough guideâ
for reference. It is attached at the end of this document.
P.S. It comes with no guarantees.
There are too many variables. Talk to an expert.
8. Check with an expert
Unfortunately, many event organisers do not have the
technical background or skill set to truly determine whether
or not a venue has the ability and capacity to provide
the requiste Internet and WiFi for any particular event.
Which means that hiring an expert during the event-planning
phase is easily worth the investment ensuring a great user
experience and smooth running audience engagement.
9. What WiFi questions to ask
WiFi
Beyond knowing the needs of your attendees,
creating a positive WiFi experience begins with
being able to ask the right questions.
The following 4 key steps and 22 questions give
you a ânon-techieâ approach to help determine if
a potential venue will be able to meet your event
WiFi needs.
WiFi for events
These questions are a useful reference whether youâre
interviewing a potential venue, a production company,
or a WiFi consultant.
24. 13:
Can you provide the Internet
in all the areas I need it,
both fixed and WiFi?
25. 14:
I may have some particular applications e.g. web
streaming and VPN requirements. Will you be able
to configure the event network to handle
my requirements?
26. 15:
Will the network be managed
..............................................
...............
..............
..................
..................
..................
actively managed
during the event
(contact who,
how, when)?
27. 16:
What is the backup plan
in case things go wrong
(ie do you have two separate
Internet providers and
different connection routes)?
28. 17:
How do you deal with any
outages (what is the %
frequency and duration
of outages)?
34. Have you ever organised a
conference in your own home?
You may think that some of these questions
are too technical but remember that you are
likely to have around 500Kb upstream on your
Broadband at home and 5Mb downstream.
If the venue only has that amount available
then imagine your meeting running in your
lounge at home!
35. Happy with all the answers?
If you are satisfied with the answers to those
questions and the information leads you to
believe their system or expertise fits with your
needs, then go to Step 2.
2
36. Step 2:
Ask for reports from previous similar events.
They should be able to provide reports on
previous events, which include bandwidth,
numbers of users, and any problems that
were encountered.
Make sure the reports are from events that
are similar in scope and attendance to
your proposed event.
37. Step 3:
Ask for references from similar events
that they handled. Do call the references
to get their perspective and ask a few
questions about how easy or difficult the
staff are to deal with and if the venue
fulfilled everything they said they would.
As an event coordinator or planner, keep
in mind that WiFi is something you can
negotiate and you should do so up front
which means it cannot be an afterthought.
38. Step 4:
Your production partner or agency
can address all your Internet and
WiFi requirements.
Alternatively, consider using one of the
following WiFi specialists or one of their
technology partners:-
⢠MaxWiFi.co.uk
⢠Xirrus.com
⢠WiFiSpark.com
39. Getting Internet and WiFi
right = happy audiences!
The upside?
Well-planned and implemented Event WiFi
means that attendees can live stream and
blog about your event, right here, right now.
The Media can quickly get their stories out;
and product announcements can go viral in
real time, maximising word of mouth and
event buzz, broadening the reach of your
event investment.
GOOD LUCK!
