Digital infrastructure for open-air events
In the last decade, the global music festival industry has grown exponentially – so much so that the UK industry is now estimated to contribute £1bn spend to the economy. As festivals are typically attended by an 18-24 year old demographic, of whom over 90% own a smartphone, free WiFi is becoming a must-have.
The modern festival fan demands the ability to connect in real-time with the wider world by posting updates, photos, and videos to social media, not to mention the ability to stay in touch with their friends and be ‘in the know’ on the best the event has to offer. High volumes of people in a concentrazted area, however, means traditional forms of data connectivity (3G/4G) and insufficiently managed open WiFi networks will frequently fail to meet expectations.
That’s where we come in. With the rare combination of in-house assets, experience, and resources to do the job, inTechnologySmartCities is able to deliver a festival Wi-Fi network from conception to completion, including installation and ongoing maintenance. Festival organisers then benefit from a bespoke, branded Captive Portal, which serves as the seamless log-on process for the WiFi.
