Who's responsible for wifi at your event venue?
Kiosks and QR systems need internet to run. Here's who prepares what.
Kiosks and QR access systems both need internet to run. It's easy to forget that detail until the morning of the event, and then scramble.
Internet is a venue-side responsibility
zzzarit's equipment and content quotes don't include an internet connection — that's something the venue needs to provide. In exchange, the setup on our end is simple: connect wifi, and zzzarit's equipment runs immediately.
What to check
- Whether the venue has its own wifi, and whether you can get a dedicated account for the event
- Whether there's a cap on simultaneous connections (count kiosks, QR readers, and check-in devices together)
- If venue wifi is weak, look into renting a portable router or hotspot in advance
- Whether power outlet locations overlap with planned equipment placement
When to check, so it's not too late
The safest point to confirm internet conditions is when you sign the venue contract. At the latest, check the connection with the venue contact a week before the event to cut down on day-of surprises.
FAQ
Does zzzarit provide internet at the venue?
No, the internet connection is something the venue provides. Once wifi is connected, zzzarit's equipment runs immediately.
What if the venue doesn't have wifi?
We recommend renting a portable router or hotspot in advance. It's safest to confirm internet conditions when signing the venue contract.
How many kiosks can one wifi connection handle?
It depends on the venue's connection limits. Add up kiosks, QR readers, and check-in devices and confirm the cap beforehand.
When's the best time to check the connection?
At the latest, a week before the event — reconfirm with the venue contact.
Who handles installation and setup?
zzzarit handles equipment installation, on-site setup, and operator training directly. The venue only needs to provide the internet connection.
