Case Study: OneRepublic achieves reliable, secure, portable tour-wide Wi-Fi with Ubiquiti UniFi

Ubiquiti Products Featured on OneRepublic’s Native Album Tour

OneRepublic, a major pop band traveling with an entourage of 50–80 people on its “Native” tour, needed fast, secure and portable Wi‑Fi to run sound checks, LED screens and backstage operations across venues worldwide. To solve this, they deployed Ubiquiti equipment—primarily UniFi AP AC and UniFi Outdoor APs along with EdgeMAX routers and ToughSwitch PoE—so the team could carry a private, consistent network from city to city.

Ubiquiti’s solution (10 UAP‑AC, multiple outdoor APs, ER‑8 routers, TS‑5‑POE switches and more) gave OneRepublic a mobilized, easy‑to‑install network that can be set up or reconfigured in under an hour (Satorius reports bringing it live in ~30 minutes). Using the UniFi dashboard the tour IT staff monitor bandwidth, demand and device usage in real time, delivering reliable, consistent Internet onstage and backstage and eliminating the need to join unfamiliar venue networks.
