Load Shedding Event Backup Internet for Hermanus events
Hermanus hosts some of Western Cape's busiest events — from whale festival, estate weddings, boutique corporate retreats. Venue fibre is often oversubscribed or unavailable at outdoor sites near Whale Coast, cliff paths. 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.
- All core network gear on UPS — graceful failover, not hard reboots
- Bond across two carriers so load-shedding affecting one POP does not kill connectivity
- Generator plug-in points spec'd for client or our rental gensets
- Stage schedule coordination — we know Eskom blocks and plan battery runtime
Why Hermanus events need bonded internet — not basic WiFi rental
Single-carrier event WiFi fails when Hermanus 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 Western Cape sites without fibre, Starlink plus LTE delivers enterprise upload for streaming and registrations.
- Local deployment team familiar with Hermanus venues and council permit requirements
- Captive portal lead capture in English, Afrikaans and isiZulu welcome screens
- Coordination with venue AV teams at ICC, Nasrec, Gallagher Estate and estate venues
- Post-event analytics: peak users, data consumption, lead CSV export

Can you bond Starlink with LTE for remote venues?
Yes. MagNet bonding combines Starlink, multiple LTE/5G carriers and venue fibre into one uplink with automatic failover.
How long will internet stay up during load shedding?
Standard packages include 2–4 hours UPS on core gear. Extended battery or generator integration is available for all-day events during Stage 6.
Does load shedding affect your cellular backhaul?
Tower battery backup varies by carrier. Bonding two carriers plus optional Starlink means when one path degrades, traffic shifts automatically.
