Wireless Policy: Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz / 5 GHz

It is forbidden to 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 or 5GHz spectra 

In the interests of every exhibitor, unauthorised 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 QBEC to discuss requirements at the following email address: it.servicedesk@decc.qa 

The Wi-Fi service is provided throughout the exhibition halls by QBEC. 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.
