How 4G & 5G Can Modernize Music Festivals
In today's digital age, music festivals are more than just gatherings of music enthusiasts; they have evolved into immersive and interconnected experiences.
As the demand for seamless connectivity continues to grow, music festivals can undoubtedly benefit from greater connectivity. Embracing advanced network technologies such as 4G and 5G opens up a myriad of opportunities to enhance the festival-goers' experience, optimize event operations, and amplify the festival's overall impact. From real-time social sharing to improved security and innovative event management, enhanced connectivity is set to revolutionize the way music festivals are enjoyed and organized, creating unforgettable moments for attendees and organizers alike.
Here's a closer look at the opportunities.
1. Vendor Sales
Even the smallest vendors accept credit cards or even digital currency, so festivals should be able to offer reliable, high-speed Wi-Fi. In addition, LTE solutions use data networks from cell phone providers, so they can be deployed without running miles of cable and installing expensive hardware. The versatility also allows festivals to set up multiple areas instead of concentrating vendors around a single internet access point.
2. Live Streaming
Modern music festivals are live-streamed to audiences all around the world. Providing clear, crisp audio and video requires a high-bandwidth signal capable of continuously streaming a live performance without lags or dropped frames. A dedicated LTE network ensures a constant connection and reliable speed, even if other users are simultaneously streaming.
3. Pop-Up Installations
With wired connections, accommodating an artist or vendor who needs internet coverage at the last second could take hours to set up. LTE solutions dramatically simplify the process, giving your clients the ability to adapt to pop-up installations and special requests within minutes. In most cases, expanding the network is as simple as inserting a new SIM card into a mobile router.
4. Unlimited Wi-Fi for Guests
Music festivals are often held in rural areas without available Wi-Fi, so most attendees will be using their phone data to text, stream video, or take calls. Adaptable LTE solutions allow festivals to provide a secure network to all their guests; an amenity many festival-goers have come to expect.
