How do venues cope with three times as much data being used year-on-year?

Connectivity at events was the topic of discussion in the latest episode of the Event Industry News podcast. Gareth Hay, Head of Event Networks at DB Systems, joined host James Dickson to look at the issues surrounding venue Wi-Fi and how the company is tackling them. During the episode, Gareth revealed that each year the amount of data used by consumers increases three-fold, which means networks are continually having to cope with increasing demand. He also discusses how the types of venue being used for events alter the way in which temporary networks and access points can be deployed, with older style buildings proving surprisingly beneficial in this aspect.
