WLAN on festivals
The provision of WLAN at festivals offers organisers many advantages. These range from improved organisation and security to increased visitor comfort and, of course, economic benefits. Stable Wi-Fi enables participants to stay connected, share their experiences and enjoy the festival to the full. The festival organisers benefit from more efficient processes and better opportunities for interaction.
Communication and organisation
Better coordination: Festival organisers and staff can communicate more efficiently via stable Wi-Fi and coordinate processes to ensure the smooth running of the event, especially if the festival site is far away from the action.
Fast updates: Participants can be informed about programme changes, emergencies or important announcements in real time with a reliable Wi-Fi connection.
Security improvement
Emergency communication: Festival visitors can call for help more quickly in an emergency or find out about safety measures, as the Wi-Fi ensures a stable connection that mobile data often cannot provide in remote locations or when there is increased utilisation.
Surveillance: Security cameras and other surveillance devices can be connected via Wi-Fi to increase overall security on the festival site and provide a better overview.
Visitor comfort
Connecting with friends: Festival-goers can more easily meet and find friends and family, which can sometimes prove to be a difficult endeavour at large events.
Access to information: Visitors can view festival maps, venues and schedules online at any time without having to rely on mobile internet.
Social media and marketing
Sharing experiences: Festival visitors can share their experiences in real time on social media platforms, which helps to promote the festival and participating artists.
Interaction with the audience: Festival organisers can communicate directly with the audience through surveys, competitions and live interactions.
Entertainment and commitment
Streaming: Artist performances, interviews and special events can be streamed live and archived for posterity, providing festival-goers with an enhanced experience that they can access at any time.
Economic advantages
Increased sales: Stable outdoor WiFi enables cashless payment for food and drinks, for example, and facilitates access to online shops and merchandising.
Data analysis: Festival organisers can collect data on visitor flows and usage behaviour in order to better plan and optimise future events.
