Best in class IT for events
Create Live designs, installs and runs temporary WiFi for events across the UK, the UAE and Saudi Arabia, from a one-day conference to a four-day championship with 30,000 devices online. Our engineers survey the site, build the network, watch it live from doors open to close, and take it all away afterwards.
Whether you call it event WiFi hire, WiFi rental or temporary WiFi for an event, you get one team responsible for the whole network: access points, switches, cabling and connectivity, monitored 24/7.
Office WiFi is built for a few hundred people spread across a working day. Event WiFi has to handle thousands of phones, scanners and payment terminals arriving at once, often outdoors or in a hall with no permanent network. Ticketing, card payments, live streaming and press all depend on it, and there is no second chance once doors open.
That is why every Create Live network is designed around your venue, your footfall and your show schedule, with redundancy built in and engineers on site for the whole event.

Site survey and WiFi design; high-density access points, switches, routers and firewalls; copper and fibre cabling; and separate networks for guests, staff, exhibitors, ticketing, POS and production. Everything is configured and tested in our workshop, installed on site, monitored in real time and reported on after the event.
Need CCTV, laptops, printers or POS as well? See event CCTV and our IT equipment rental range.
We design for the site you actually have: a permanent venue with existing cabling, an open golf course, or a festival field with nothing on it.
High-density coverage for conference centres, exhibition halls and arenas, with delegate, exhibitor and staff networks kept separate.
Outdoor access points and fibre runs for festivals, golf courses and stadiums, covering stages, fan zones, entry gates and media centres.
Rapid-deploy connectivity for pop-ups and locations with no existing infrastructure at all.
Tell us the venue, dates, expected attendance and what the network must carry: guest WiFi, ticketing, POS, press, streaming or production.
We survey the venue or review site drawings to plan access point positions, cable routes and where the internet connection comes in.
We size the network for peak device numbers, not averages, with separate networks for each user group and redundancy where it matters.
Every access point, switch and firewall is configured and tested in our workshop before it leaves.
Our engineers run the cabling and install the access points around your build schedule and other contractors.
We test coverage and throughput across the site before doors open, including entry gates, stages and payment points.
Enterprise-grade monitoring watches every access point and device in real time, with a zero-tolerance approach to cybersecurity.
Engineers stay on site 24/7 for the whole event, so problems are fixed before guests notice.
We strike and collect everything once your event closes, with minimal disruption to your team.
A short report on device numbers, bandwidth use and network performance, with recommendations for next time.
Full-site WiFi across stages, vendor zones and entry points, keeping ticketing, POS terminals and live content online at the Middle East’s leading sneaker and streetwear festival.
High-density WiFi for delegates, registration desks, exhibitor stands, card payments and press rooms at multi-day conferences and trade fairs.
190 access points and 15 km of fibre across the course connected 30,000 unique devices over four days.
Event WiFi is a temporary wireless network installed for the length of an event and designed to cope with thousands of devices connecting at once. It usually carries guest WiFi alongside separate networks for ticketing, card payments, exhibitors, press and production.
It depends on the venue, the number of people and devices, how many days the event runs and how the site connects to the internet. After a short scoping call, or a site survey for larger events, we send you a quote.
We design for peak numbers. At the DP World Tour Championship our network connected 30,000 unique devices over four days, and we have connected more than 60,000 unique devices at a single event.
Yes. We use outdoor access points and fibre runs for festivals, golf courses and stadiums, and rapid-deploy connectivity for temporary sites with no existing infrastructure.
Yes. Guests, staff, payments and production run on separate networks, and enterprise-grade monitoring watches for intrusion attempts throughout the event, with a zero-tolerance approach to cybersecurity.
Across the UK, the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Create Live has offices in Dubai, Riyadh and the UK, with engineers based in each.
