Professional expo & trade show wifi for South African events
Whether you are planning mining indaba style conferences or a national automotive and machinery expos, MagNet Events brings bonded temporary internet — not a consumer router in a tent. We serve exhibition organisers and stand builders who need guaranteed connectivity when venue DSL fails, GSM towers congest, or Eskom load shedding strikes mid-event.
- Per-exhibitor bandwidth options — no more shared hall WiFi contention
- Branded captive portal for organiser lead database growth
- Integration with registration systems and badge scanning apps
- Backup uplink when venue-provided internet fails mid-show
Typical use cases
Expo & Trade Show WiFi is trusted for events where connectivity failure is not an option. We dimension AP density, uplink bandwidth and VLAN segmentation for your specific mix of guest WiFi, production systems and payment devices.
- Mining Indaba style conferences
- Automotive and machinery expos
- Franchise expos and dealer days
- University career fairs
- Government supplier showcases

Frequently asked questions
How much does expo & trade show wifi cost in South Africa?
Pricing depends on guest count, coverage area, duration and add-ons like captive portal or dedicated streaming uplink. Request a free quote — we respond within one business day with fixed pricing.
Do you provide on-site support during the event?
Yes. Multi-day festivals and corporate keynotes include optional on-site network engineers. All packages include remote NOC monitoring.
Can you bond Starlink with LTE for remote venues?
Yes. MagNet bonding combines Starlink, multiple LTE/5G carriers and venue fibre into one uplink with automatic failover.
Venue WiFi is included — why hire separate event internet?
Venue WiFi is often oversubscribed, unsegmented and offers no lead capture. Our solution gives guaranteed throughput per zone, exhibitor isolation and analytics you own.
Can exhibitors use their own routers?
We recommend connecting through our network for RF coordination. We can assign dedicated VLANs or wired ports per stand to avoid channel interference.
