The problem
Volleyball NZ runs tournaments in school gyms, community halls and stadiums all over the country. Venue internet is different every time, often slow or locked down, and the scoring and officiating systems can't afford to drop out mid-match.
What we built
A portable kit that staff carry in a single case: a Starlink Mini for satellite internet that doesn't depend on the venue, a managed switch and access points to give scoring tablets, officials and streaming a clean network, and power and cabling sorted so set-up is a matter of minutes.
Because the kit has to work without a FestiFi technician on the day, we wrote an operations and maintenance manual in plain English, covering set-up, pack-down, and what to check when something isn't connecting.
The result
A standalone system Volleyball NZ owns and runs themselves, with the same reliable network at every venue and no ongoing dependence on us.
