EZELINK deployed a temporary yet highly robust WiFi infrastructure, tailored to meet the unique demands of the occasion. This involved extending WiFi coverage across all 23 floors of the Atlantis resort, where attendees watched the performance from their balconies in a socially distanced manner—a necessity driven by the ongoing global health concerns at the time.

The deployment process began with a meticulous assessment of the venue’s layout. The Atlantis The Palm, with its expansive outdoor areas and towering structure, presented a complex challenge for wireless coverage. EZELINK’s network engineers collaborated with the resort’s technical team to map out the 23 floors, ensuring that every balcony had reliable internet access. This was achieved through the strategic placement of highly optimized outdoor access points, designed to deliver high-speed connectivity even in challenging outdoor environments.

The temporary WiFi infrastructure was a testament to EZELINK’s expertise in event technology. Unlike permanent installations, temporary setups require rapid deployment and flexibility, often under tight schedules. In this case, the infrastructure was erected to support not only the live audience but also the massive influx of data from live streams. Each access point was calibrated to handle multiple simultaneous connections, with bandwidth allocated to prioritize streaming and communication needs. This ensured that attendees could share their experiences on social media, engage with friends and family via video calls, and enjoy uninterrupted access to the concert feed.

EZELINK’s Global Network Operations Center (GNOC) played a critical role in overseeing the network’s performance. Operating 24/7, the GNOC monitored real-time data traffic, identified potential bottlenecks, and provided immediate troubleshooting support. This proactive approach exceeded client expectations, as the network maintained stability despite the high demand from both on-site users and the global streaming audience. EZELINK’s ability to deliver such a scalable and resilient solution highlighted its leadership in managed WiFi services, particularly for large-scale outdoor events.

Bandwidth management was another critical aspect. With an estimated audience of thousands on-site and millions streaming globally, the network had to handle significant data loads. EZELINK implemented Quality of Service (QoS) protocols to prioritize live-streaming traffic, preventing lag or buffering that could disrupt the viewer experience. This was complemented by load balancing techniques, distributing users across multiple access points to avoid congestion.
