The Wireless service is provided by CCLD Inc. and is available throughout all the common areas, lobbies, meeting rooms and ballrooms in our conference facilities.

This service is designed specifically for the event attendee who would like to access the internet with simplicity. Daily rates are $27.50 or $110.00 for a weekly rate with tax included. This is online service purchased on location only upon connecting to the wireless WiFi system. Please remember, sessions are based on time, so if you purchase an hour session, the session will begin as soon as the purchase is made and the session will be valid for the duration of the service purchased.

Sponsored Wi-Fi Programs:

We have several programs available for meeting planners and event sponsors; this is an opportunity to generate revenue from a sponsorship program from the Greater Fort Lauderdale/Broward County Convention Center wireless network.

Some of the advantages of sponsored WiFi:

• Sponsor owns login and/or re-direct page as a great marketing opportunity
• Low cost to event management
• Event management secures sponsor to generate additional revenue
• Attendees have access to free wireless

Special Note:  Wireless Internet (Wi-Fi) can possibly be slow when streaming video.  The bandwidth is 128kbps bi-directional and it can affect your internet video viewing experience.  The Wi-Fi service is intended for simple connectivity such as web browsing and email viewing, among other simple applications.  It is recommended to consider a standard or premium wire line service when running a video streaming presentation or viewing.
