Temporary sites
Bring a working network to the event
Private mobile networks connect operational devices at festivals, fan parks and temporary sports sites, supporting the teams setting up and running the venue.

Private 5G for events & venues.
Keep the event team one step ahead.
Connect the teams, cameras and operational devices that keep a venue running. Private 5G gives the event a managed connection designed around its working areas and busy periods.
Bring service requests, reviewed video events and mobile production links into a useful operational picture, from setup to the final handover.
Private 5G in practice
Connect the work. Improve the operation.
Live production
Connect cameras and production teams
Wireless cameras, return feeds and media transfers use the private network to carry production traffic around the event site.
Event operations
Keep entry teams and control rooms connected
Operational handsets, incident tablets and compatible ticketing devices carry the updates that keep people and information moving.
The operational connection
Keep the event team one step ahead.
An event changes the shape of a site. Temporary structures, concessions, queues and working routes appear where a previous event used a different layout. Teams need a connection that follows the agreed operating plan.
Private 5G can serve selected staff devices, cameras and mobile equipment across that footprint. Edge AI analyses agreed operational views locally, presenting changes for review without asking the control room to watch every camera continuously.
Practical events & venues use cases
Connect the task to the people who act on it.
01
Use a service robot to keep back-of-house work moving
A service robot carries supplies between a storage point and an agreed back-of-house destination. The fleet application assigns the job, and private 5G carries its status as it moves through the approved service route. The receiving team can see progress without calling the store room.
A supervisor handles exceptions and updates the job when a route or destination changes. Completed deliveries remain visible to the next shift, helping avoid duplicate requests. The operating plan separates robot routes from crowded visitor areas and gives the team a clear way to manage the service.
The opportunity: clearer supply movements and fewer calls chasing routine deliveries.
02
Bring a growing queue to the operations team’s attention
A camera overlooking an agreed entrance area feeds a local edge AI application that estimates queue extent or occupancy. Private 5G carries the event to the operations desk when the configured condition is reached. The supervisor checks the view alongside the staffing and entrance plan.
The team can then open an available service point or direct staff according to its operating procedures. The application records the reviewed event and response, helping planners understand where the next event may need a different layout. The workflow concerns aggregate activity, with no need to identify individual visitors.
The opportunity: earlier visibility of pressure points and better-informed staffing decisions.
03
Keep the roving production crew connected
A camera team sends selected live video through the private network to the venue’s production environment. The director can review the feed while the crew changes position within the planned coverage area. Staff communications and media traffic are designed around their different demands.
The crew can move between agreed locations without creating a new wired camera position each time. Production staff retain control of the feed, while operational teams have their own access and priorities. The project brings camera requirements, venue layout and local processing into one workable plan.
The opportunity: more flexible production positions and clearer coordination between teams.
Robotics and edge AI
From an observation to a useful decision.
Use a service robot to keep back-of-house work moving. The robot gathers observations or completes its assigned movement; the private network carries the agreed data. Edge AI means processing selected images or sensor readings on local computing infrastructure.
Choose what the application should identify and who receives the result. A reviewed finding can become a work order, a confirmed handover or a record for the next shift, with the supporting evidence kept alongside it.

Design for the site
Plan the event layout, peak device numbers, camera traffic and temporary structures together. Installation, power, backhaul and dismantling responsibilities should match the venue schedule.
Connect to the existing workflow
Keep operational services separate from visitor connectivity. Agree priorities for production, staff applications and other devices, then test them through the actual working locations.
Planning & costs
We help turn the opportunity into a working solution.
We assess your estate, devices and applications, then design connectivity around the work you want to improve. We help build a business case around the opportunity, deployment costs and ongoing support.
We handle the technical assessment and help connect the investment to useful results. The first conversation starts with what you want to achieve.
One area or the whole estate.
Start with a focused deployment and expand, or move ahead with a full programme. We shape delivery around your priorities and readiness, and coordinate installation with your operation.
Talk to our teamPlanning questions
Private 5G for events & venues: your questions.
Can this be temporary rather than a permanent installation?
Yes. A temporary deployment can be scoped around the event dates, coverage areas, devices and available power and backhaul.
Can existing devices and applications connect?
Compatible cellular devices connect directly; suitable gateways can link other equipment. We check the exact device models, interfaces and application requirements before choosing the design.
Where does edge AI run?
Selected analytics can run on local servers, with access and storage designed around the workflow. The application identifies agreed events; staff review the result and retain responsibility for the operational response.
What is needed to scope the project?
A site plan, the chosen task, device details and the applications involved provide a useful start. We then assess coverage, integration, installation and ongoing support for a defined proposal.

Which task should work better?
Show us the working area, the equipment and the point where information stops flowing. We’ll help turn it into a practical first project.
Website information and service conditions
Coverage and performance are designed around your site, devices and applications. We set out the agreed service and delivery scope in your proposal.
Use cases illustrate how the service can support an operation. Project specifications and commercial terms are confirmed in the agreed proposal and contract.
