Internet/Wi-Fi Requirements for your Catalyst Kiosk at DTW-Ignite

2025

• Your Catalyst stand includes:

• • Two wired internet drops estimated at 5-10 MB up/down bandwidth each on a shared backbone
  • We strongly recommend you use the wired connections whenever possible as the Wi-Fi may have disruptions beyond our control.
    • Even laptops and many mobile devices that do not have a built-in ethernet ports can use USB-C adapters (for example) and you should bring these with you to use the wired connections. 
    • We encourage teams to bring a switch and RJ45 ethernet cables and split that for any additional wired devices if more than two connections are required.  We will have a limited number of switches available at the Catalyst Information desk.
    • We’ve upgraded the bandwidth for the Catalysts to maintain high bandwidth connection for all your devices.
    • Reminder: Please don't forget to bring a USB adapter for Ethernet (and HDMI) if your laptop does not have these ports.

• Access to shared event Wi-Fi connection.
• • Catalysts will have their own dedicated Wi-Fi the will ONLY work in the Catalyst zones
    • SSID: Catalysts
    • Password: dtw2024!

Catalyst Network Requirements form  - Must be placed by 10 May 2025

Put TBC for Kiosk # until one is assigned

• Catalyst Network Requirements form  - Fill out here _ https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/KRJ8YF5
• List of any connection requirements (in addition to the 2 wired internet drops)

• If you did not fill out the Catalyst Network Requirements form and your demo is heavily reliant on Wi-Fi, your device can not use a wired connection, or you have another requirement not covered by what is included in your stand,  YOU MUST contact  eventnetwork@tmforum.org (include your Catalyst URN and kiosk number) immediately

• CLOSED COMPLETE Catalyst Network Requirements form with a list of any additional connection requirements for any non-personal devices or equipment that requires Wi-Fi that will be used at your kiosk. This will allow us to work with the venue and ensure they are properly supported.
• To ensure the best experience for any demos we strongly recommend using wired connections for all equipment possible.
• Wi-Fi setup for a demo will only be available based on technical requirements demonstrating that utilizing wired connections is not feasible.
• Every endeavor is taken to provide reliable Wi-Fi, however, on occasion it is subject to interruption outside the organizer's control so utilizing provided wired connections is strongly recommended

No external Wi-Fi broadcast devices (routers, access points, personal hotspots etc.) will be allowed under any circumstances as per our standard contract terms.  This will be monitored and enforced by event security.
