The Challenge:

FilmWifi Ltd has been providing location Wi-Fi services to the film and TV production sector since 2009. Integrating satellite broadband with mobile services, they have risen to the challenge of providing reliable internet connectivity in both urban and remote locations. They have now completed over 250 major productions across the UK and Europe.

The Problem:

In the world of on-location film and TV production, traditional internet infrastructure often falls short, particularly in remote areas where connectivity is sparse or non-existent. It was this realisation that led Kris to set up FilmWifi Ltd. Determined to address the industry’s need for seamless Wi-Fi services, Kris set out to overcome the challenges of unreliable internet access during filming.

The Solution – Satellite Broadband:

The Impact:

Brdy’s satellite internet services have revolutionised the way FilmWifi Ltd operates on-location shoots. With the ability to access fast and reliable internet in even the most remote filming locations, the company has been able to expand its reach and take on projects in diverse environments. From shooting in the Austrian mountains for James Bond to filming in the Sahara Desert for Mission Impossible, FilmWifi Ltd has successfully tackled challenging locations with the support of Brdy.

The Outcome:
