GhostNet is a self-contained internet provider in a case. Cellular in, managed WiFi out, and a control panel you can reach from anywhere in the world.
Your crew plugs in one power cable. That is the whole install. No laptop, no configuration on site, nobody on a ladder with a phone hotspot. The case boots itself, finds its connections, and blankets the booth.
Final product photography goes here — the open case showing the gateway, switch, access point and control panel.
Exhibitors get house WiFi at a price that makes your eyes water, a consumer router somebody brought from home, or a phone hotspot that falls over the moment the doors open. GhostNet is the fourth option: carrier-grade connections, bonded into one managed network, monitored the whole time.
One standard power outlet. The case powers up, brings its own connections online and starts broadcasting on its own.
Networks, passwords, speed limits and show hours are all set before the case leaves the shop, and can be changed remotely at any time.
Open the control panel on a phone in another state and see every device on the network, every megabyte used and every access point.
One button powers the gear down in the right order at the end of the show, so nothing is yanked live.
Commercial Ubiquiti networking gear, three cellular carriers and a dedicated control computer, in a case built to be thrown in a truck.
AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon business connections plus a port for the venue's own hardline. If one carrier dies in a crowded hall, the case keeps working on the others.
The gateway watches every connection and moves traffic off one that stops behaving, without anyone touching anything.
Roughly 2,000 sq ft of coverage each, on 2.4, 5 and 6 GHz. Add satellite access points for bigger footprints.
Give every device a fair share so one person streaming 4K cannot flatten the booth. Wired devices are never throttled.
Two stages: a slow lane first, then a hard cut-off. A booth never simply goes dark in the middle of a pitch.
Set the hours a network exists. Outside them it disappears from the WiFi list entirely and stops spending cellular data.
A separate 2.4 GHz network tuned for stubborn equipment — printers, badge scanners, older kit that hates modern security.
Run a staff network nobody can see in the WiFi list, alongside the public one, on the same hardware.
Every network produces a scannable join code and a printable sheet. No spelling a password out across a booth.
A closed case in a hall with no air conditioning gets warm. Every component's temperature is tracked with warning levels.
A show floor's airwaves at 10am look nothing like the night before. The case re-surveys and moves to clearer channels on a schedule.
Powers the gateway down first and the control panel last, in the order the hardware wants, then tells you when it is safe to unplug.
The part that turns a box of networking gear into a service you can rent out with confidence.
Every case you own on one page — which are online, how many people are connected, how much data each carrier has burned through and how hot the hottest thing in each case is running.
Screenshot of the live fleet page goes here.
Usage broken down by carrier, by day, by hour and by individual device — with names, not just hardware addresses. When a client asks where 40 GB went, you can answer with a chart instead of a shrug.
Screenshot of the usage charts goes here.
Devices joining and leaving, connections failing over, limits being hit, hardware dropping off, and every change anyone made — written in plain English, not error codes. Exports to a file for the client.

Every rental includes configuration before it ships and remote support while it is on the floor.

| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Gateway | UniFi Cloud Gateway Fiber — handles up to six separate internet connections at once |
| Switch | UniFi USW-Pro-XG-10-PoE, 400 W — enough power budget to run six access points |
| Access points | UniFi E7, tri-band 2.4 / 5 / 6 GHz, approx. 2,000 sq ft each |
| Control computer | Raspberry Pi 4, runs the control panel and the monitoring |
| Internet inputs | Three cellular carriers (AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon) plus one wired port for house internet |
| Wired ports for your gear | [Lorem ipsum — LAN ports exposed on the case] |
| Case | Nanuk 963 (main) and Nanuk 950 (satellite) — both plastic, so nothing blocks the WiFi |

Including the things it deliberately does not do.
Yes. The case brings its own connections from three cellular carriers. The venue's hardline is optional — a fourth input you can add if the house internet happens to be good.
Traffic moves to the others automatically. A show floor at peak hour is the worst radio environment most networks ever see, and one carrier struggling while another is fine is normal, not a fault.
No, and that is deliberate. Carrier terms for these business lines exclude public and guest WiFi, and a line can be suspended mid-show for breaching them. Networks are given out by password or QR code instead.
No — and anybody who tells you otherwise is selling something. Each carrier line has a high-speed allowance, and past it the carrier slows you down. The control panel shows exactly where each carrier stands and warns you when a carrier is half way through its allowance, again at 80%, and again when it is gone — so it is never a surprise.
Not from the WiFi. The case is configured before it ships and changed only from the control panel, which needs a sign-in. There is nothing to press on the case itself except the power.
No, on purpose. Everything is frozen at a known version. An unattended update that reboots a piece of hardware at 3am is a far likelier way to lose a show than anything it would protect against.
[Lorem ipsum — tested concurrent device count] Coverage is roughly 2,000 sq ft per access point, and satellites extend that for larger stands.
