Trade Show Internet Connection for $299

Do you use an Internet connection at your trade shows? If you are paying more than $299, then EventConnect can save you money.

Typically the internet connection that you can rent for a trade show costs between $1000 and $3000. Event Technologies has put together a package that allows our customers to use the Verizon Broadband Wireless Network to provide internet access in your trade show booth. This service was originally created to help our customers with their trade show lead retrieval and lead management programs, but is now available for use on it's own. Most trade show strategies these days are focused around saving money, and here is a product that can save you thousands of dollars.

The two most asked questions we have heard since releasing this product are:

(1) How is this different than plugging a Verizon or Sprint Modem into my computer?

The Answer: Our system allows you to network (wireless or wired) four (4) computers in your booth. In addition, we include a Wilson Electronics antenna that improves your signal strength and the speed of the service.

(2) Are we allowed to use a service for internet access that is not provided by the trade show.

The Answer: Yes. 100%. The show can't stop you from accessing the internet on your phone, or with a wireless modem on your computer, and this is no different. Here is one of the many laws that guarantee that you can not be told how to access the internet at your trade shows: Telecommunications Act of 1996:

The Telecommunications Act of 1996 explicitly prohibits telecommunications carriers from entering into exclusive contracts with commercial building owners or their agents for the provision of interstate telephony and internet services. The FCC ruling explains that exclusive contracts prove detrimental to the consumer, provide an unfair monopoly to the telecommunications carrier, and stifle innovation and choice with respect to communications technologies and providers. Additionally, the Act grants tenants in multiple tenant environments (including temporary leaseholders) the ability to place antennas one meter or less in diameter used to receive or transmit any fixed wireless service.

Additionally, it is illegal to block the cell signal in the exhibit hall and punishable by up to a year in prison and/or an $11,000 fine.  You can imagine how angry attendees and exhibitors would be if their cell coverage was interfered with. Also, it would be extremely irresponsible of the trade show management to interfere with potential 9-1-1 calls that may need to be placed during the show.
