It may detect the signal, but it will ultimately just smile and nod! (It will actually just do nothing because it’s soooooo congested).

It’s the same thing with your PC that’s communicating to your social media photo kiosk device. If you yelled really loudly the person next to you might make out what you’re saying, but chances are it will sound like muck and they will just smile and nod at you. Imagine being at a concert and trying to talk to the person next to you, but you’ve got thousands of people screaming and the music is blaring. The point is, all of these 2.4 GHz devices are operating on this frequency and making a boat load of noise, drowning out the signal of your wireless access points and your social media photo kiosk. Radio bands higher than 2.4 GHz are regulated and restricted to certain uses, but that is outside of the scope of this article. The 2.4 GHz radio band is also unregulated, meaning anything can operate on that spectrum. Really damn near any and everything that has a computer chip in it. These electronics vary, but include and are not limited to microwaves, cell phones, fluorescent lights, activity trackers (fit bits), wireless mice and keyboards, your watches, etc. The 2.4 GHz Radio SpectrumĢ.4 GHz is a radio frequency that electronics operate. Hold my hand and walk with me as I break down this world of GHz, body mass and cheap wireless cards. It’s OK, I was confused too until I did my research (while drinking multiple cups of coffee and eating chinese food at 2am: there goes my diet).
#itwasallgoodjustaweekago #itworkedathome Blame it on the 2.4 GHz Radio Spectrum, Body Mass & Cheap Wireless Cards Now either the app can’t find the server or once you find the server and connect, the photos are still coming in painstakingly slow!īut Why? It was great pre-setup and everything went great at your event last week. You try killing the PicPic Social app on the sharing station and reopen it. You go over to see what the commotion is for yourself and sure enough, the photos are either coming in extremely slow or not at all. They ask, “How come I don’t see my photos?”. Your social media photo kiosk lines are backed up and you’ve got people looking at you with a WTF face. You’re killing it! Until all of a sudden you’re not. Your clients are super excited and they’re glad they’ve hired you because you’re getting them the social media promotion they’re after. Your guests are giddily posting their best shots to social media. You’re taking new photos and the sharing stations are picking up images within seconds after transfer.
You’ve run a few tests and things are running smoothly. You’ve setup PicPic Social on location the day before or even a few hours before go time.
If you don’t understand what I’m talking about, you have yet to have experience it, which either means your setup is already tight or you haven’t hit the big leagues yet! Let me paint the picture… The event industry has been struggling with the issue of Wi-Fi reliability at large events for years! This isn’t an issue exclusive to PicPic Social alone, in fact, it’s not an issue that’s exclusive to event photographers and photo booth companies at all. Not to mention uploading direct to social media can be even slower. Let me again clarify, the thing that does suck about social media photo kiosks at large events is how slow the transfer from the photo capturing PC to the sharing station can be. And, in my biased opinion, social media photo kiosks at large events are awesome and they never suck! Any event with 300 – 3000, or more guests is a large event, arguably huge event. Why do Social Media Photo Kiosks Suck at Large Events?įirst, let me clarify what I mean by large events.
