LongFi Connect keeps phones working when the club is packed.

Bauhaus Houston, a premier nightclub in the heart of East Downtown.

When a club fills up, indoor cell signal can fade, and guests and staff feel it first, from tap-to-pay to sharing the night. That gap is exactly what LongFi Connect closes, keeping phones working when the floor is full.

The Challenge

When the floor fills up, cell signal drops inside the club.

At capacity, cell signal in a packed club gets tested, right when the night depends on it. Guests and staff feel it first.

The set goes unposted

Guests can't post the night out that fills the room next weekend.

The door text stalls

A message to wave a friend in at the door lands late.

Tap-to-pay times out

Bar payments and tips slow down when the room is busiest.

The Solution

LongFi Connect improves indoor cell signal using the club's spare Wi-Fi capacity.

It runs as a configuration on the Wi-Fi already in the club, so phones connect on their SIM and keep working when the floor is full.

  • Automatic on the SIM. Phones attach on their own, with no app, no password, and no portal.
  • Built for a packed room. Engineered to hold up when the floor is at capacity.
  • Runs alongside the show. Lights, sound, and point-of-sale keep running as they do today.
  • Secure by design. Guest traffic is authenticated and encrypted, and kept apart from club systems.
  • No cost to the venue. Runs on the Wi-Fi already in place and can return monthly value.
