Conferences + hotel ballrooms
Registration, session rooms, a sponsor lounge, and a stage laptop on a network you control, when the hotel's Wi-Fi will not hold 400 people.
Bonded Cellular Rental · Indoor Event Internet · Ships Nationwide
Two carriers combined into one connection, with automatic failover when one drops. $1,500 per week, shipped preconfigured to your conference, trade show booth, ballroom, or downtown activation. The kit we use when Starlink has no sky to see.

Hotel and convention-center internet is shared with every attendee, priced per drop, and ordered on the venue's clock. A bonded kit is yours alone, and it does not care where the house network terminates.
Registration, session rooms, a sponsor lounge, and a stage laptop on a network you control, when the hotel's Wi-Fi will not hold 400 people.
Demo kiosks, lead capture tablets, and point-of-sale on the show floor, wired to the kit so they do not drop when the hall fills up.
Dense metro sites where one carrier's tower is already saturated. Bonding two carriers keeps registration and photo delivery moving.
Upload that holds for a keynote or a product reveal, and the failover path next to a Starlink kit for broadcasts that cannot drop.
Dailies and crew connectivity on an indoor location without waiting on a landlord's IT department.
A second path that takes over automatically if the drop you ordered does not show up, or stops working at 9 a.m. on show day.
You bring: a standard outlet and the device count. We check carrier coverage at the venue before the kit ships.

Outdoor site with open sky? The Starlink kit is $350 per week and sets up in ten minutes.

Starlink or bonded cellular?
Open sky
Starlink. Cheapest, simplest, and the most common rental.
No sky
Bonded cellular. Two carriers combined into one connection, failover built in.
Stream, broadcast, or sponsor footprint that cannot drop
Both on one router. One path fails, the other carries the feed.

| Starlink kit | Bonded cellular kit | |
|---|---|---|
| Where is the event? | Outdoors or anywhere with open sky: lawns, lots, fields, patios, rooftops | Indoors with no sky: ballrooms, convention halls, hotel meeting rooms, dense downtown blocks |
| Can you put a dish outside within a cable run? | Yes. The dish goes on a tripod with sky view and the cable runs back inside | No. Nowhere to put a dish, or the dish would be under trees, a tent, or a tall building |
| What is it carrying? | Livestreams, registration, kiosks, photo delivery, guest Wi-Fi for a tent or a tailgate | The same things, plus trade show booths, conference rooms, and POS where the house network cannot be trusted |
| Setup | About 10 minutes with the free Starlink app. No account, no technician | A few minutes: plug in, place the antennas where the guide shows, connect by Ethernet or Wi-Fi |
| Price | $350 per week, 50 GB of priority data included | $1,500 per week, data plan sized to the job |

A bonded cellular kit takes two cellular connections from different carriers, for example Verizon and T-Mobile, and combines them into one internet connection. Traffic is split across both, so you get more throughput than either carrier alone, and if one carrier degrades or drops, the other carries the load automatically. It is the standard way to get dependable internet inside a building where a satellite dish cannot see the sky.
$1,500 per week for the complete kit. The data plan is sized to your event and quoted with the order, as are round-trip shipping and any add-ons such as extra access points or an on-site tech. Multi-week and multi-kit pricing is available.
Starlink needs open sky and is the simplest, cheapest kit for outdoor and remote sites. Bonded cellular works indoors, in ballrooms, convention halls, and dense downtown blocks, and is the right choice when the dish has nowhere to go. For a livestream or a sponsor footprint that cannot drop, we pair both: Starlink as the primary path and bonded cellular as failover, or the reverse.
That is what it is for. Carrier signal inside large buildings varies, so the kit ships with high-gain antenna options and we check the venue's coverage before it ships. Send the venue name and the room and we will tell you honestly what to expect. In a basement with no carrier signal at all, nothing cellular works, and we will say so rather than ship a kit that cannot perform.
One kit comfortably runs a booth, a registration area, or a session room: kiosks, tablets, point-of-sale, laptops, and a stage computer. For a whole conference or a multi-room footprint, we add managed access points and size the data plan to the device count. Tell us how many devices and what they will do and the quote will say exactly what you are getting.
Yes, with a caveat. A 1080p stream needs roughly 5 to 8 Mbps of sustained upload, and upload is the first thing a crowded cell network gives up. Bonding two carriers is what makes that upload hold when the crowd arrives. For a paid or broadcast stream we recommend Starlink plus bonded cellular together so there is no single point of failure.
No. The kit arrives preconfigured. Plug in power, place the antennas where the guide shows, connect your devices by Ethernet or to the printed Wi-Fi network, and you are online. Setup is a few minutes, and our support line answers during setup and show hours. We can also see the unit remotely.
Yes. The router supports segmented networks, so point-of-sale, registration, and your ops laptops sit on one network and guest or sponsor devices on another, with the critical network given priority.
The kit ships the next business day after the contract is signed, timed to arrive before your load-in. Tell us the setup date and we choose ground or expedited so it is there when you need it, with a prepaid return label in the case.
Yes. Most kits ship and run without staff. For multi-room footprints, broadcast feeds, or any event where the client is standing next to the stage, a PivotXP tech is a per-day line on the quote with travel at cost.
Send the venue, the dates, and the device count. You will have a quote today and a kit at the door before load-in.
