What Are the Best Options for Renting WiFi for Large Events?
When planning connectivity for a large-scale event—whether it’s a corporate conference, product launch, festival, or fashion show—reliable internet is non-negotiable. But what are the best options for renting WiFi?
At Made By WiFi, we offer a range of temporary internet solutions tailored to the needs of your event. These include:
- 4G/5G LTE Hotspot Kits – Perfect for smaller to mid-sized events or pop-ups.
- Point-to-Point Internet – For large-scale indoor/outdoor events where dedicated bandwidth is essential.
- Starlink Satellite Kits – Ideal for remote locations where cellular and fiber options aren’t available.
- Fiber Internet Drop – When available at the venue, we can help manage and extend the circuit to your event space.
Choosing the right option depends on location, guest count, usage type (streaming vs. email), and your event’s critical applications.
Can I Rent 5G Internet for an Outdoor Event?
Yes, you can absolutely rent 5G internet for outdoor events—and Made By WiFi makes it easy. Our 4G/5G Internet Kit Rentals offer portable, high-speed connectivity with nationwide coverage.
These kits use carrier-agnostic SIMs and advanced cellular routers to connect to the strongest 5G (or fallback 4G LTE) signal in the area. They’re rugged, weather-resistant, and easy to deploy, making them perfect for:
- Outdoor festivals and concerts
- Construction site kickoffs
- Temporary medical tents or emergency response centers
- Backyard or rooftop private events
How Does Made By WiFi Deliver Temporary Internet?
Our event WiFi services follow a proven, professional deployment process:
- Discovery & Planning – We gather your event requirements, including bandwidth needs, venue layout, and device counts.
- Site Survey – For complex deployments, we may perform a site visit or review maps to determine access point placement and cabling routes.
- Installation & Testing – Our team sets up the equipment on-site and verifies signal strength, speeds, and redundancy.
- On-Site Support – Depending on the package, we provide network engineers during the event for live troubleshooting and performance monitoring.
- Post-Event Load-Out – We remove all gear promptly and can share usage reports upon request.
This full-service approach means no guesswork on your part—just fast, secure, guest-ready WiFi where and when you need it.
How Much Bandwidth Do You Need for an Event?
Event bandwidth requirements vary based on your audience size and the type of activity:
| Usage Type | Per Device Bandwidth |
|---|---|
| Email & Browsing | 1–2 Mbps |
| HD Streaming | 5–8 Mbps |
| Zoom/WebEx/Meet | 2–4 Mbps |
| POS/Registration | <1 Mbps |
Multiply that by your expected number of users to get an estimate. Don’t worry—our team will help calculate and deliver the right amount of bandwidth, along with bandwidth shaping for mission-critical services.
Do You Need On-Site Support for Your Event WiFi?
For large or high-profile events, on-site support is highly recommended. Our team includes experienced technicians who can monitor the network in real time, troubleshoot access points, and manage traffic loads.
This ensures your event WiFi remains fast and secure—even during peak usage or unexpected changes. We’ve supported everything from Fortune 500 brand activations to New York Fashion Week and international streaming broadcasts.
