1. A method for automatically directing data requests from a specific application to a designated WiFi network pathway without interaction from a mobile device user, the method comprising:

  • in response to a first application that is executing on a processor of a mobile programmable device sending a first data request to an event web server via an initial data network pathway, determining whether the initial data network pathway meets a satisfactory service threshold for forwarding the first data request to the event web server, wherein the event web server is associated with an assembly event, and wherein the initial data network pathway is at least one of a cellular data network connection and a general WiFi pathway;

    in response to determining that the initial data network pathway does not meet the satisfactory service threshold for forwarding the first data request to the event web server, determining whether the programmable device is within communication range of a designated WiFi service node that is in communication with a first WiFi pathway that is designated for access by the first application for communications with the; and

    in response to determining that the programmable device is within the communication range of said designated WiFi service node, and to the determining that the initial data network pathway does not meet the satisfactory service threshold for forwarding the first data request to the event web server, the processor automatically executing an authentication procedure with the WiFi service node to gain access to the first WiFi pathway without requiring a user of the mobile device to log in to the first WiFi pathway and without requiring the user to accept a connection to the first WiFi pathway, and using the first WiFi pathway to send the first request to the event web server.
