Festival WiFi & Connectivity for East London events
East London hosts some of Eastern Cape's busiest events — from regional trade shows, beach events, corporate AGMs. Venue fibre is often oversubscribed or unavailable at outdoor sites near East London ICC, Nahoon Beach. MagNet Events deploys bonded LTE, 5G and Starlink gateways so your guests, POS terminals and live streams stay online even when local ISPs struggle during peak crowds or load shedding.
- Zone-based SSID design — main stage, vendor court, artist compound, ops
- Microwave backhaul between stages when running fibre is impossible
- Real-time usage dashboards so ops can throttle non-critical VLANs during headliner sets
- Experience from congested GSM environments — bonding beats a single carrier
Why East London events need bonded internet — not basic WiFi rental
Single-carrier event WiFi fails when East London mobile networks congest during major fixtures, or when Eskom load shedding affects upstream infrastructure. Our MagNet bonding combines multiple paths — if Vodacom degrades, MTN and Telkom carry traffic seamlessly. For remote Eastern Cape sites without fibre, Starlink plus LTE delivers enterprise upload for streaming and registrations.

- Coordination with venue AV teams at ICC, Nasrec, Gallagher Estate and estate venues
- Post-event analytics: peak users, data consumption, lead CSV export

- New Year's Eve outdoor events
