Rapidly Deployed, High-Capacity Network Powers DeepMind AI Convention by Google

Overview

• Industry: Artificial Intelligence, Technology, Events
• Objective: Design and deploy a reliable, high-speed network solution for 300+ delegates and staff, enabling continuous connectivity for workshops, live demos, and presentations.
• Context: Hosting one of the world’s most advanced AI research communities required exceptional bandwidth, low latency, and complete reliability — all delivered under an exceptionally tight deadline.
  ‍

Challenge

• Venue Limitations: The chosen venue lacked sufficient connectivity infrastructure, presenting immediate challenges for an event dependent on live data exchange and online collaboration.
• Time Constraints: With less than 48 hours to design, install, and configure the network, the solution had to be both rapid and robust, without compromising on performance or security.
• High Density & Device Load: Over 300 attendees, each using multiple devices, required advanced network planning to manage bandwidth allocation and prevent interference.
• Redundancy Requirements: As a Google-affiliated event, any downtime or instability was unacceptable, necessitating full failover capabilities and proactive performance management.
  ‍

Solution

• Custom High-Density WiFi Network: Designed and deployed a bespoke WiFi infrastructure tailored to the event’s high bandwidth and low-latency requirements.
• 5G Bonded Failover System: Integrated a bonded 5G backup connection to ensure seamless continuity in case of primary network disruption.
• Dynamic Routing & QoS Management: Implemented intelligent routing policies to prioritise critical traffic for presentations, cloud demos, and collaborative applications.
• Rapid Deployment Workflow: Leveraged preconfigured hardware and on-site engineering expertise to deliver a fully operational network within 48 hours from brief to completion.
• Real-Time Monitoring: Provided on-site performance tracking and support, ensuring continuous uptime and optimal load balancing throughout the convention.
  ‍

Outcome

• Flawless Event Connectivity: Delivered stable, high-speed connectivity across the entire venue, enabling uninterrupted presentations, workshops, and live demonstrations.
• Zero Downtime: 5G failover and proactive monitoring ensured uninterrupted service throughout the event.
• Positive User Experience: Attendees and organisers praised the network’s speed and reliability, reinforcing the professional standard expected by Google and DeepMind.
• Proven Agility: Demonstrated our ability to deploy complex, enterprise-grade temporary networks on rapid timelines for high-profile technology clients.
