Why Events and Venues Choose Nexthop

Circuits That Land Before the Bump-In Does

Nexthop activates on-net premises in 2-3 weeks and provisions IP transit within 72 hours, and because we own the fibre, our in-house project management and network design team controls the build calendar rather than queuing behind a third-party network owner's provisioning cycle.

A Contended Link Fails Precisely When the Crowd Arrives

Every Nexthop connection runs over a private dark fibre core with no contention and no shared last-mile, so the capacity quoted is the capacity delivered at full house. Symmetrical 500 Mbps to 10 Gbps services mean the upstream path carrying your broadcast and streaming feeds is as wide as the downstream path, which is the reverse of how most business internet is built.

Capacity Sized for Uncompressed Video, Not Best-Effort Wi-Fi

Nexthop's dark fibre and metro and intercapital wavelength services give production companies Layer 1 and Layer 2 capacity at that scale, with 10G metro wave from $499/month, rather than asking a compressed contribution feed to carry a show it was never sized for.

Commercial Terms Built for a Calendar That Isn't Permanent

NextXC datacentre dark fibre runs month-to-month at $250/month with $1,000 setup, IP transit can be trialled with no obligation before any commitment is made, and business fibre tiers can be sized to the season rather than to a three-year averaged guess. Clients moving to Nexthop save 30% on average against their previous provider, which matters most on infrastructure that sits idle between events.

Use Cases

Convention Centre With Back-to-Back Corporate Events

Scenario: A major convention and exhibition centre runs corporate conferences, trade expos, and product launches throughout the year. Each event brings different exhibitors, sponsors, and production companies - each with their own connectivity requirements. The venue needs dedicated, high-bandwidth internet that does not degrade as thousands of delegates connect devices simultaneously, and the flexibility to support event-specific overlay networks for exhibitors and sponsors.

Nexthop solution: Symmetrical business fibre internet on a dedicated dark fibre core providing uncontended bandwidth to the venue permanently, with private VLANs enabling isolated networks for individual events, exhibitors, or production teams.

Products: Business Fibre Internet (up to 10 Gbps), Dark Fibre

Music Festival Live Stream to a Global Audience

Scenario: A multi-day music festival requires high-quality live streaming to global platforms, alongside social media content capture, artist management connectivity, and ticketing/access control systems. The upstream bandwidth requirement is substantial — multiple simultaneous HD streams to CDN origin servers — and the connection must perform under the load of tens of thousands of attendees on-site.

Nexthop solution: Dedicated business fibre to the venue for production and streaming upstream, with IP transit for internet-facing traffic. Dark fibre to the nearest data centre for private CDN origin handoff, keeping the live stream off the public internet until the last possible hop.

Products: Business Fibre Internet, IP Transit, Dark Fibre

Hybrid Corporate Conference With International Keynotes

Scenario: A large corporate conference at a hotel or convention centre combines in-person attendance with a virtual platform serving remote delegates globally. International keynote speakers present via live video link. The event production requires symmetrical high-bandwidth for upstream video, low-latency for real-time Q&A and audience interaction, and stable connectivity for the virtual event platform running from a cloud environment.

Nexthop solution: Symmetrical business fibre ensuring the upstream path (carrying outbound video and virtual platform traffic) is as capable as the downstream. Private connectivity to the cloud environment hosting the virtual platform via Nexthop's data centre footprint, bypassing the public internet for the production-critical path.

Products: Business Fibre Internet, Data Centre Interconnect

Connectivity Solutions for Events and Venues

Dark Fibre

Layer 1 capacity between a venue, a production facility, and a data centre, with the customer running their own electronics, encryption, and transport protocol over it. Suited to broadcasters and production companies moving SMPTE ST 2110 or high-volume media files, and to venue operators who want a private path that is theirs to engineer.

Data Centre Interconnect (DCI)

Cross-connects and dark fibre pairs between NEXTDC, Equinix, Global Switch, Macquarie Data Centres and other facilities, from $250/month month-to-month, for production chains that terminate in a data centre — cloud production platforms, CDN and streaming origins, media asset storage, and peering.

IP Transit

BGP-based upstream capacity for event technology providers, streaming operations, and venue networks that need direct internet transit rather than a resold service, available on a no-obligation free trial and connectable within 72 hours.

Out-of-Band Management

Independent management access to venue and production network equipment, so a fault on the primary path does not also cost you the ability to diagnose it. On an event with a fixed start time, remote hands access to your own kit is the difference between a delay and a cancellation.
