// Industry

IoT for events & venues.

Cashless payments, attendee tracking, crowd analytics, smart venues — high-density, short-lived deployments that must scale up in hours and operate at 100% reliability.

// Sector challenges

The realities of event IoT.

Events are extreme environments for connected technology: short setup, dense crowds, and zero tolerance for downtime.

/01

Setup speed

Hundreds of devices, miles of cabling, all deployed in 48 hours and torn down even faster. Plug-and-play, robust auto-configuration is essential.

/02

Crowd density

Thousands of phones competing for Wi-Fi, BLE collisions, RF saturation. Your stack must survive packed venues, not lab conditions.

/03

Real-time analytics

Footfall, dwell time, heat maps. Insights must arrive within seconds, not hours — show organisers make decisions on the fly.

/04

Visitor privacy

Anonymous counting and consent-based tracking. GDPR-compliant by design, especially in EU venues.

/05

Mixed connectivity

Some venues have ethernet, some Wi-Fi only, some no signal at all. Edge processing and store-and-forward designs handle the unknown.

/06

Zero downtime tolerance

Failure means hundreds of journalists notice. Redundancy, hot spares and remote operations from day one.

// Use cases

Where Linkweez creates value.

Sample of event projects we design, deploy and operate.

/01

Footfall & space analytics

Anonymous people-counting, dwell-time analysis, heat maps, hotspot detection on exhibition floors.

/02

Interactive installations

Sensor-driven artistic installations, gamified booths, real-time content adaptation based on crowd presence.

/03

Attendee experience apps

Native event apps with maps, agenda, beacons for indoor navigation, push notifications by zone.

/04

Smart badges & RFID

Connected badges for access control, lead capture, session check-in, networking, and post-event analytics.

/05

Real-time dashboards

Organiser dashboards showing real-time attendance, zone density, sponsorship visibility, security alerts.

/06

Hybrid event broadcast

On-site capture, low-latency streaming to remote audiences, integration with virtual platforms (Hopin, Bizzabo, etc.).

// Recommended stack

Technology choices for events.

Designed for fast deployment, harsh RF environments, and real-time decisions.

Edge

Pre-configured sensor packs, BLE/UWB beacons, 5G IoT gateways, edge analytics nodes

Connectivity

5G/LTE-M for backhaul, BLE 5.3 & UWB for indoor positioning, mesh fallback for dense zones

Security

Pre-provisioned devices, encrypted analytics, GDPR-compliant data minimisation, consent management

Cloud & Apps

Real-time dashboards, event-specific mobile apps, organiser tools, post-event analytics reports

// Business value

Turn one-time events into measurable, data-rich experiences. We deploy connected installations that work day one, scale to tens of thousands of visitors, and give organisers the analytics needed to prove ROI to sponsors and exhibitors.

Planning a connected event?

From single venues to multi-city event series, let's design the IoT layer that makes it measurable.
