Use Speedify to Join Multiple Phones’ Personal Hotspots at the Same Time for Faster, more Reliable and Secure Internet Connectivity at Events
At a conference or trade show, full signal bars mean little when thousands of attendees saturate the venue Wi-Fi and the local cell towers at once. Speedify combines your devices’ Wi-Fi and 4G/5G cellular into one steadier connection, then shifts to whichever holds up.
When that isn’t enough, Speedify’s Pair & Share feature pairs your phone with colleagues’ phones nearby and pools everyone’s cellular both ways for more speed. No cables, no new data plans, no setup beyond a tap in the Speedify app.
<1 sec
With Speedify, your internet stays on when one connection fails.
When one of your internet connections drops, Speedify shifts your traffic to your remaining connections in under a second — so calls don’t cut out and downloads don’t stall.
Should you have a backup 4G, 5G, Starlink, or cable internet connection?
Yes — every internet connection goes down, including Starlink, which drops for ~34 minutes a day on average. A backup connection from a different provider means one outage never takes you fully offline. The most common options are a 4G/5G cellular hotspot, a cable or DSL line, or a second satellite dish.
4G/5G cellular
Works anywhere. Just a SIM or hotspot — no installation needed.

Best for fixed locations. Different network, so outages rarely overlap.

Adds redundancy and throughput for remote sites or heavy usage.

Speedify Feature · Pair & Share
Cellular sharing that works better than a mobile hotspot.
Speedify Pair & Share: share cellular between your devices, both ways
Most hotspots give. Speedify's Pair & Share gives and takes. Two devices running Speedify pair up and each uses the other's cellular connection simultaneously, so you both get faster uploads, faster downloads, and a steadier connection. No extra hardware, no new data plans, no setup beyond a tap.

More speed
Every device you pair with adds its cellular to yours, and yours to theirs.
Stays connected
If a paired device drops out, Speedify keeps you online on the remaining links.
Always private
Every shared connection runs through AES-256 encryption. Your traffic is yours.
No new gear
Runs on devices already running Speedify, over your local network. Pair once, reconnects automatically.
Why Internet Connectivity at Events Is Often Slow and Unreliable
Event venues, whether it’s a large fair ground or just a conference space, can get anywhere from hundreds to tens of thousands of people on the premises at any moment. So, the main reason for why event Wi-Fi is often slow and unreliable is that it’s crowded. Each person uses a certain amount of the available bandwidth, which is limited. So, you get less bandwidth.
And it doesn’t get any better with 4G / 5G mobile data as well, in the case of large events. It’s the same as on a stadium – thousands of people hogging up the cellular data bandwidth from a small area leads to network congestion.
That’s why it’s important to use Speedify to combine multiple Internet connections – if one of them becomes sub-par, Speedify enables the others to compensate it and provide fast, reliable and secure connectivity.
For exhibitors specifically, a booth needs to upload leads, run video calls, and send large files all day from one spot, which is exactly where pooling the team’s cellular pays off. See the deep dive on reliable internet at a trade show booth and why you get full bars but no internet.
3 Steps to Get Faster, More Reliable and Secure Internet Connectivity at Events
The easiest way for this is to use Speedify’s Pair & Share functionality. This allows you to combine multiple personal hotspots together to increase internet bandwidth and minimize latency for everyone.
Speedify’s Pair & Share is a new kind of personal hotspot. Instead of just one device sharing its internet, all paired devices can both share and receive connections at the same time. This should be very easy to achieve if you have a second connection (like a hotspot device or another smartphone) or, better yet, if you’re attending the event with your colleagues or friends.
Here’s what you need to do in order to use Speedify’s Pair & Share functionality,:
- Get the Speedify app on all your devices and connect to the same Wi-Fi network. This can be created by one of your devices or you can use a public Wi-Fi network.
- Make sure you have Pair & Share enabled on all devices. Start by pairing a device to share and receive.
- You are now taking advantage of both your and others’ Internet connectivity for faster, more reliable and secure Internet while attending the conference / event.
Traffic between devices is fully encrypted, and you always maintain full control over which devices can do what – set permissions, limits, or unpair from other devices at any time.

Speedify’s Pair & Share Functionality Helps You Fix Slow and Unreliable Event Internet
Forget about Internet issues with the event Wi-Fi. As long as you have more than one phone to help, preferably from a different carrier, then you should be all good when using Speedify to join all available connections with the Pair & Share functionality.
