Good day all,

I am part of a sports body in Wp/SA. We have a requirement to offer free Wifi to participants and attendees at tournaments.
A condition is that access must only be allowed to one specific URL. All other browsing traffic must be blocked.

Please recommend a wifi router(3G/LTE) which will be able to cater for this scenario and be easy to set up.

Thanks

Does Ubiquiti have a 3G/LTE router that can do what he wants?

OP, how many clients needs to connect to the wifi?

I wouldn't combine the 3G/LTE router with the Wifi AP. Rather seperate the two for security and manageability reasons. The Mikrotik LTE routers work great but don't have Wifi AP built in, so you then use the Ubiquity for it's wireless strength.
 
It can be any number of 200 upwards and with national tournaments, it can easily go to 1000 plus.

It is used by Team Managers, Participants, Parents basically anyone who is looking for specific info for the tournament on that day such as match allocations,results, etc.

Get a decent firewall/router that can do load balancing across a few LTE routers, and about 10 - 20 AP's

This setup will not be cheap no matter how you go about it
 
Thank you for the feedback. Will investigate all the options available.
 
It sounds easy in that you block all IP's except the one you need like mygamingtournament.co.za = 197.1.1.1 and proxy that so all the graphics / bandwidth are pulled locally, just the stats updated. I would use Mikrotik and you dont need a powerhouse as the content is probably minimal

Your biggest problem will be enough and stable bandwidth.

Limiting browsing to a single URL will be child's play compared to that.
