10 years of Savvy, 10 years of shifting knowledge, 10 years of well-functioning internet.

10 years ago when we started, the WiFi was still very poor and the internet was very expensive in many halls and event locations.

This was basically not our problem or our fault, but it did cause a hitch in the operation of our app. (and all other internet matters). To avoid this in a Savvy and reliable way, we always created our own WiFi network on location. This not only ensured a good connection for all participants, but also a well-functioning app. To this day, we still use this closed Savvy network at many locations.


But did you know that WiFi is not actually internet?

WiFi is just the wireless connection between your device and the internet, but what if there is no internet at the end of that wireless WiFi connection?

Over the past 10 years, we have devised and created countless solutions to ensure that the internet met the full requirements at every event. We often had to hire the connections for this. Hiring more connections means spending more money, which means that the costs for a well-run event increase. This was one of the most discussed issues.

One of our most expensive internet connections was for an event in Rome, €3300 per day…


Yes, that's not wrong!

Do you remember when you paid a lot of money for the internet, and how much was it?
