5G routers have become increasingly popular as a means of providing internet connectivity at large scale events. However, there are a number of drawbacks to using 5G routers for this purpose that should be taken into consideration.
Limitations of 5G
First, 5G networks can be prone to congestion and slowdowns, especially in areas with high numbers of users. This can lead to poor connectivity and slow download and upload speeds, which can be a major problem for large scale events where thousands of people are trying to access the internet at the same time.
Another drawback of using 5G routers is that they are often dependent on a single carrier’s network. This can lead to problems if that carrier’s network becomes overloaded or experiences technical issues. Additionally, if a carrier’s network is not well-established in the area of the event, it may not be able to provide reliable or adequate coverage.
Finally, 5G networks can be vulnerable to interference from other devices and sources, such as other mobile devices and cellular towers. This can lead to dropped connections and other connectivity issues, which can be particularly problematic at large scale events where a stable internet connection is critical.
Alternatives to 5G
There are multiple alternatives to using 5G to provide an event’s internet connection such as fibre circuits which are fast and much more reliable than 5G but they are much more expensive. A more cost effective alternative to using 5G is to use satellites. Have a look at why Starlink may revolutionise the outdoor events industry.
Overall, while 5G routers can be a convenient and easy way to provide high speed internet connectivity, there are a number of drawbacks that should be taken into account. Event organisers should carefully consider these drawbacks and weigh the pros and cons before deciding whether to use 5G to provide internet connectivity at their event.
