Wireless Policy: Wi-Fi (2.4 / 5 / 6 GHz)

Wireless Policy: Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz / 5 GHz / 6GHz (EU band)

It is forbidden to install or operate devices that propagate a wireless signal, as these will cause interferences in the general services provided at the venue. Examples of what is not allowed can be found below:

  • 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
  • Beacons
  • Wireless microphones and/or cameras
  • Any other device that uses the unlicensed 2.4GHz / 5GHz / 6GHz (EU band) spectra
  • In the interests of every exhibitor, unauthorized wireless networks will be detected and shut down. All exhibitors must adhere to the wireless policy and penalty processes will be activated if any are found to be in breach of the policy.

Please remember the main driver for this Wi-Fi strategy is to improve the Wi-Fi experience for all exhibitors and attendees at the Event.

IMPORTANT NOTE: It is understood that some exhibitors may require a special Wi-Fi network for demonstrations. Exhibitors with this specific business should contact the IT Department of Fira Barcelona to discuss requirements at the following email address: 4yfn.internet@firabarcelona.com

The Wi-Fi service is provided throughout the exhibition halls by Fira Barcelona. This service is provided exclusively in the 5GHz band that allows a better performance in crowded areas. All smartphones, tablets and laptops released in recent years will run 5GHz Wi-Fi.

Exhibitors should ensure that 5GHz compatible devices are used for the Event.
