Miami Spring Event Wi-Fi for 200+ Attendees and Vendors
Access point planning, managed network equipment, primary internet with a backup connection and monitoring during the event.
The gym had Wi-Fi dead zones and unreliable coverage. ClearPath Connect planned access point placement and configured managed network equipment to extend coverage across the event space, provided primary internet with a backup connection, and monitored the network during the event. More than 200 attendees and vendors stayed connected throughout.

The Challenge
The gym had Wi-Fi dead zones and unreliable coverage. Parts of the event space could not be counted on to stay connected, which is a problem when attendees and vendors need internet access throughout the venue.
The ClearPath Network Design
ClearPath Connect planned access point placement for the event space and configured managed network equipment to extend coverage across the venue. Coverage was planned around the gym itself, targeting the areas where the existing Wi-Fi was weakest.
The setup included primary internet service with a backup connection, so the event was not relying on a single source of connectivity.
Deployment and Monitoring
The network was monitored during the event. ClearPath stayed on the network for the duration of the event, with the backup connection in place alongside the primary internet service.
The Results
More than 200 attendees and vendors stayed connected throughout the event, on a network planned around the venue’s dead zones and unreliable coverage.
Key Lessons
- Existing venue Wi-Fi with dead zones and unreliable coverage is not dependable on its own for an event.
- Planning access point placement in advance extends coverage across the full event space.
- Managed network equipment keeps coverage consistent across the venue.
- A backup connection and monitoring during the event keep the network supported while it is running.
