Some events comprise both a set of lecture sessions and exhibit sessions. When lecture sessions are underway, the connectivity requirements (specifically, the traffic volume density) may be low or lower; however, when the sessions wrap up, there may be a pulse‐shaped traffic requirement where a large number of participants all want to make phone calls or access the Internet.
There are about 310 convention centers in the United States of various sizes, 50 of which have more than 200 000 ft2 of total space. See Table 1.5 for the top 10 convention centers in the United States. For example, the largest US convention center is the McCormick Place in Chicago, Illinois, with 9 million ft2 of space and 2.7 million ft2 of exhibition space. The exhibit space generally tends to be one‐half to one‐third of the total space.
1.2.4 Pre‐pandemic/Long‐term Requirements for Open Air Gatherings and Amusement Parks
Networks for public parks are typically designed around public safety and the availability of cellular service; first responder access is important (e.g. in the context of E911). For data and multimedia services, users will typically utilize their smartphones and 4G/LTE cellular connections; however, in some instances, Wi‐Fi is available, as in the latter case, and is employed to move users toward food and merchandize concessions, or for geo‐fencing applications. A target of one million connections per square kilometer (also definable as 1 connection per m2 or 1 connection every 10 ft2) has been suggested by some researchers [2]. Open air gathering tends to be more “pop up” operations with short‐lived operational timeframes; however, the density could be high, even multiple individuals (say 2–3) every 10 ft2. Requirements include high‐capacity data and video access, and perhaps video surveillance.
