Elsewhere + LongFi Connect
Follow-up brief after our discovery call.
Sam, thanks for the time on the call. A quick summary of the fit and what we need to get this moving: the carrier approval info, and an introduction to your Sourcepass contact so we can coordinate the technical call. Easy to forward to Ramy, Zach, or the Sourcepass team.
Conversation snapshot
| Primary contact | Sam Werner, Managing Director, Operations |
|---|---|
| Venue | Elsewhere |
| Address | 599 Johnson Ave, Brooklyn, NY (Bushwick) |
| Main pain | Indoor cell service is difficult inside the building |
| Building profile | Dense concrete environment |
| Current concern | Wi-Fi is not broadly shared with patrons due to POS, cameras, and internal systems |
| Current Wi-Fi platform | Ruckus access points Pending model compatibility |
| IT / MSP stakeholder | Sourcepass |
| Camera vendor context | Rhombus |
| Activity level | Roughly 500 events per year |
What we heard
- Patrons need reliable connectivity inside the venue.
- Elsewhere wants to improve connectivity without opening internal networks to patrons.
- Sourcepass manages the networking environment and should be included in the technical review.
- Sam wants to see the system work at Elsewhere first before thinking about referrals to other venues.
Why LongFi fits
What LongFi does, in one line
LongFi uses excess Wi-Fi capacity to provide a better indoor cell experience for AT&T and T-Mobile customers. Patrons do not need a Wi-Fi password. Carrier traffic stays separate from POS, cameras, staff devices, and internal systems.
Fit assessment
Carrier approval info 1.5 to 2 weeks
The site is submitted to AT&T and T-Mobile for inclusion in their carrier database. Approval typically takes one and a half to two weeks once the basics are in, so the sooner these come in the sooner Elsewhere goes live.
