Creating a Stable Network for Outdoor Sporting Events?
-
Hey everyone! Last month, I helped organize a marathon, and one of the trickiest parts was ensuring reliable connectivity for tracking participants, managing checkpoints, and handling real-time updates. Being spread across such a large outdoor area made things pretty challenging. Have any of you worked on networking for similar events? What worked for you?

If you’re curious, here’s a useful look at industrial ethernet extender uses in industry. They’ve been a game-changer for setups like this.

This discussion takes me back to a cycling race I attended! While I wasn’t part of the organizing team, I remember noticing all the tech that goes into making everything run smoothly. It’s impressive how much behind-the-scenes work and innovative solutions are involved in pulling off such events.
