🎯 Pre-Event Simulation

Before the event, your digital twin simulates:

  • Crowd flow patterns
  • Network demand by venue and time
  • Failure scenarios (base station outage, backhaul cut)
  • Optimal resource placement
Value: Reduce over-provisioning by 20-30% through accurate simulation instead of conservative estimates.
💡 Key Insight
Digital twins are not just for planning. They are the "rehearsal" for your agents. Before agents negotiate real bids, they negotiate simulated bids in the twin. This validates strategies without risk.
