Overview

When Warner Bros. hosted the press junket for Superman at Los Angeles’ iconic (W)rapper Building, there was one major challenge—the venue had no existing network infrastructure. For an event bringing together international media to interview director James Gunn and the film’s cast, a fast and reliable internet connection was non-negotiable.

With just a limited installation window and a requirement to cover eight floors of the building, Studio Technical Services was brought in by their press junket producer, Glass Engine to engineer a temporary, high-performance network that could handle the intense bandwidth demands of the world’s press.

The Challenge

No Pre-Existing Infrastructure: The (W)rapper building had no wired internet service or internal networking in place.
Multi-Floor Coverage: Press activities were spread over eight separate floors, each needing secure and robust connectivity.
Tight Turnaround: Limited setup time before the first interviews began.
High Bandwidth Demands: Large video files of dozens of media interviews were required to be uploaded and transmited daily for global distribution.
Security Needs: Segmentation required to keep media content secure from unauthorized access.

Our Solution

Studio Technical Services designed, deployed, and supported a completely self-contained network solution tailored to the event’s needs.

High-Capacity Internet Aggregation: Deployed Peplink enterprise bonding routers to combine bandwidth from multiple carriers, ensuring redundancy and consistent throughput.
Full Building Wi-Fi Deployment: Installed secure enterprise-class Wi-Fi across eight floors of a sixteen floor building, optimizing access point placement for coverage and speed.
Cabling, Cabling, and More Cabling: Almost three thousand feet of ethernet cabling was used to build this mammoth network.
VLAN Segmentation: Isolated press traffic from internal production and administrative networks for both performance and security.
Rapid Installation: Our team completed the full build-out in the short setup window without disrupting the venue’s other preparations.
On-Site Support: Technicians remained on-site for the duration of the junket, monitoring traffic and ensuring optimal performance.

Results

Flawless Performance: Zero downtime during three days of continuous press activity.
High Data Throughput: Enabled uninterrupted high-volume uploads, video streaming, and large video file transmission simultaneously.
Happy Stakeholders: Warner Bros. and attending media praised the speed, stability, and coverage across the building.
Repeatable Blueprint: The multi-floor deployment plan is now a proven solution for similar future events in infrastructure-limited venues.

Why It Matters

For high-profile press events like the Superman junket, reliable internet isn’t just about convenience—it’s about ensuring that global publicity happens in real time. Without a robust, redundant connection, interviews and promotional content can’t reach audiences when it matters most.

Studio Technical Services specializes in creating temporary enterprise-grade networks in even the most challenging environments—whether that’s a historic theater, a festival grounds, or a brand-new building with no wiring at all.
