Operating in Low Internet Environments: Events, Stadiums, and More

Navigating Connectivity Challenges: Ensuring Seamless Operations in High-Density Venues and Events.

Komo's platform requires an internet connection to function. However, it is designed to operate even in environments with limited internet connectivity.

Platform Optimizations

We have implemented several features to ensure smooth operation under such conditions:

1. Automatic Image Optimization
   We automatically optimize images to reduce file sizes while retaining high quality. This ensures faster load times and lower bandwidth usage.

2. Minimized Network Requests
   Our platform reduces the number of network requests required, streamlining data transfer and enhancing performance, especially in low-internet environments.

3. Content Preloading
   We preload content whenever possible to provide a faster and smoother user experience, even with limited connectivity.

4. Compressed Web Traffic
   We compress web traffic to send only the smallest possible content sizes to devices, reducing data consumption and improving loading speeds.

5. Efficient Content Distribution via CDNs
   We leverage Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) to distribute content more efficiently, serving it from servers closer to the user to significantly reduce load times.

Best Practices for Network-Constrained Environments

If you anticipate operating in a network-constrained environment, consider the following recommendations to optimize performance:

1. Avoid Using Videos
   Videos consume significant internet bandwidth. Refrain from including them in your content to reduce data usage.

2. Use Lower-Resolution Images
   Starting with lower-resolution images helps reduce file sizes and bandwidth usage. While our platform optimizes images to retain quality, smaller images will naturally load faster from the start.

3. Minimize Images in Games
   Limit the use of images in games, especially for questions and answers in quizzes and polls, to reduce bandwidth requirements.

4. Opt for Non-Live Content
   Consider using non-live content instead of live features like Live Q&A or Live Trivia, as live content may demand more bandwidth.

5. Limit Content on Hubs
   Reduce the number of cards displayed on a Hub. Each additional piece of content increases the amount of data users need to download.

6. Strategize Promotion Timing
   Choose optimal times to promote your Hubs and content. Avoid periods of high network congestion, such as during headline performances at live events when many people use their phones. Promoting before or after these times can enhance user access.

Conclusion

By following these best practices and leveraging Komo's built-in optimizations, you can provide a smooth and engaging experience for your users, even in environments with limited internet connectivity.
