Internet in the middle of a field.
Agricultural shows, festivals, trade shows and remote venues rarely come with decent internet, but your traders, staff, ticketing and livestream all need it. We set up temporary WiFi using satellite and mobile data, sized to your event, from a single access point for the organisers' tent to coverage across the whole site.
What you get
- A connectionSatellite plus 4G and 5G, bonded together, and the venue's own line added in if there is one.
- CoverageAccess points placed where you need them: the office, the trade stands, the arena, the bar.
- Separate networksStaff, traders and public on their own networks, so card machines aren't competing with a thousand phones.
- Someone on siteFrom planning through to taking it all down, with one of our team on call throughout.
Temporary CCTV
Once the site has internet, it can also have eyes. We install temporary cameras, remotely powered and connected, to watch key parts of your site overnight: the gate, the stores, the stage. It's a little extra reassurance for organisers when the site is empty.
Questions people ask
How does event WiFi work in a field with no signal?
We use satellite internet, which only needs a clear view of the sky, combined with 4G and 5G mobile data where there is any. The connections are bonded together and shared out over WiFi access points across your site.
Who is it for?
Organisers and staff, traders taking card payments, press, livestreams, ticket scanning, and visitors if you want to offer public WiFi. We can separate those into different networks with different passwords.
The venue has WiFi. Do we still need you?
Sometimes not. But venue WiFi often struggles once hundreds of phones join. We can add our connection to theirs for a belt-and-braces setup.
Will someone be there if it goes wrong?
Yes. At least one of our team is on call, and usually on site, for the whole event, including helping traders who've mistyped the password.
How does the temporary CCTV work?
The cameras are powered and connected remotely, so they can go where there's no mains power. You can watch key areas of the site overnight from your phone.
