As official suppliers of connectivity at the Airshow we have a responsibility to ensure high quality connections are always available to exhibitors who have purchased services through the approved channel. Therefore, the following policy will be actively implemented by our DB Events Network Team throughout the period of the event.
The only Wi-Fi networks allowed are those provided by DBpixelhouse Event Networks Team, or by exceptional agreement and payment in advance for Outside Areas & Chalets.
Self-installed Wi-Fi networks are not permitted in the Halls at Farnborough Airshow
Please note that you are not allowed to install or operate devices that transmit a wireless signal, as these can cause interference to the network services provided by DBpixelhouse at Farnborough International Air Show 2022.
Below are examples of what is prohibited (the list is not exhaustive and other similar technologies should be counted as included):
- Clients own Wi-Fi access points (also known as Wi-Fi routers)
- Mobile hotspots (sharing your mobile internet connection, thus creating a Wi-Fi network)
- MiFi devices (4g & 5g Dongles)
- Beacons
- Wireless microphones and/or cameras
- Any other device that uses the unlicensed 2.4GHz or 5GHz spectrum
Please note all exhibitors must comply with DBpixelhouse’s Clean Air Policy.
To ensure the best Wi-Fi experience, DBpixelhouse actively uses Wi-Fi scanning equipment to detect and shut down unauthorised Wi-Fi networks in exhibitor’s stands and chalets.
Unapproved Wi-Fi networks are the primary reason for poor service and network interference for those who have purchased authorised connectivity. By carefully managing the Wi-Fi network, we alleviate these risks and provide better connectivity for all exhibitors.
Unapproved Wi-Fi networks will be shut down
Outside Areas / Chalets
Wi-Fi networks in outside areas, including chalets, may be considered in lieu of a management fee (£975). If authorised, you will only be allowed to broadcast on the 2.4Ghz spectrum & use certain channels approved by DBpixelhouse.
Have a special circumstance? Need an exception?
We understand that some exhibitors may require a special Wi-Fi network. If you have a specific business need, please contact DBpixelhouse at networks@dbpixelhouse.com to discuss your business requirement.
