High-Density Temporary WiFi
Thousands of phones in one field behave nothing like an office. We do RF planning, channel and power tuning, and controller-managed access points so the network holds up when the crowd arrives all at once.
Festival Connectivity
Festival Internet & WiFi Solutions
Temporary high-density WiFi, outdoor coverage across the whole footprint, and secure vendor and POS networks. Built by New Orleans engineers who work festival season for a living — deployed nationwide.
What festival networks actually need
Festival grounds are the hardest environment in event networking: no building, no house infrastructure, weather, and tens of thousands of devices in open air. Here's what we build to make it work.
Large-Scale Outdoor Coverage
Point-to-point wireless backhaul, weatherproof enclosures, and distribution to remote stages, gates, media tents, and vendor rows across grounds with no existing infrastructure.
Vendor & POS Networks
Cashless payments only work if the payment network never competes with attendee traffic. Vendors get their own isolated VLAN with prioritized bandwidth for card readers and ticket scanners.
Secure Network Segmentation
Separate networks for production, credentialing, POS, staff, and public access, with firewall policies and content filtering so one compromised device can't reach the rest.
Equipment Rental & Deployment
Routers, switches, access points, cabling, and spares delivered, staged, and installed for your run dates — then removed clean at teardown.
On-Site Engineers
Certified network engineers stay on the grounds for the full festival, monitoring throughput and fixing issues between sets instead of after the show.
Festival season is our home field
We're based in New Orleans, a city that runs on outdoor events — festivals, parades, street fairs, and stadium weekends packed into the same calendar. That means our engineers plan for heat, rain, temporary power, shifting footprints, and crowds that double between one set and the next.
The same team travels for festivals nationwide, and the approach doesn't change: survey the grounds, design for the crowd you actually expect, and staff the network while it's live.
Events we connect
- Music and cultural festivals
- Food, wine, and street festivals
- Parades and second line routes
- Outdoor sports and race events
- Fairgrounds and park activations
- Multi-stage, multi-day productions
How a festival network gets built
01
Site survey
We walk the grounds, map stages, gates, vendor rows, and power, and identify what backhaul is reachable.
02
Coverage design
A written plan for uplinks, wireless backhaul, AP placement, VLANs, and bandwidth allocation per function.
03
Build & load test
Gear is staged, cabled, weatherproofed, and load tested during build days — before the gates open.
04
Run & strike
Engineers monitor the network through every day of the festival, then handle a full teardown.
Festival internet questions we get
- How much bandwidth does a festival need?
- It depends on ticket scanning, vendor payments, production, and streaming. A mid-size festival with cashless payments and a live stream needs a dedicated circuit sized well beyond what a handful of hotspots can carry. We size it from your gate counts, vendor list, and production plan before load-in.
- Can you do event WiFi rental for a single weekend?
- Yes. We rent and deploy the full temporary stack — access points, switches, routers, and uplinks — install it for your run dates, staff it with on-site engineers, and strike it afterward.
- What about grounds with no existing infrastructure?
- That's the normal case. We design point-to-point wireless backhaul and weatherproof outdoor access points to reach remote stages, gates, and vendor rows with no wired service on site.
