Summit connectivity
Lines for international summits with encrypted transport, network segregation per delegation, dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 and security-standard compliance.
How it works
- Site survey (24h) · Field engineer on site to verify fibre coverage, wireless line-of-sight and possible satellite backup.
- Design (48h) · Network architecture with SLA, red+blue redundancy and capacity sizing based on workload (broadcast, streaming, telemetry, voice).
- Provisioning (3-7 days) · Temporary fibre installation, equipment configuration, BGP peering and on-air testing.
- Go on air · 24/7 NOC monitoring · hot-swap replacement on fault · escalation to NOC Milan + New York.
- Tear-down (24h) · After the event, the site is restored leaving no trace, materials recovered and a technical report delivered to the client.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to install an event line?
48 hours from the survey for dedicated fibre in already-covered urban areas. 3-7 days if new fibre must be laid. 4 hours for a satellite uplink via teleport. For large events (Eurovision, F1) we work with 2-4 weeks of advance booking.
How much does an event line cost?
It varies by duration, capacity and redundancy. Typical range: from €2,500 for small events (1 day, 100 Mbps symmetric) to €80,000 for week-long institutional ceremonies (100 Gbps red+blue + satellite backup uplink). Free quote after the site survey.
Do you guarantee an SLA during the event?
Yes. Standard SLA of 99.99% uptime with red+blue redundancy. For mission-critical events (TV sports, ceremonies, summits) we guarantee 99.999% via dual physical paths + satellite backup. Contractual penalties apply on SLA breach.
Do you operate only in Italy?
Primary operations in Italy + EU. For events outside the EU we partner with local tier-1 broadcast carriers (Eurovision Services, BT Tower, Stage Connections), keeping Nexim NOC and engineers on site.
What happens if the fibre goes down during a live event?
Automatic sub-50ms switch to the alternate path (red↔blue). No buffering, zero perceived frame loss. If both fibre paths fail (e.g. an accidental dig), failover to satellite in <3 seconds. Real-time NOC alerts, field tech on site within 30 minutes.
