Frequently asked questions
How much does sports event connectivity cost in South Africa?
Pricing depends on guest count, coverage area, duration and add-ons like captive portal or dedicated streaming uplink. Request a free quote — we respond within one business day with fixed pricing.
Do you provide on-site support during the event?
Yes. Multi-day festivals and corporate keynotes include optional on-site network engineers. All packages include remote NOC monitoring.
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.
Can you integrate with ticket scanning systems?
Yes. We isolate scanning devices on a low-latency VLAN with DHCP reservations and test throughput before gates open.
What about VAR and match official comms?
We provide dedicated wired or wireless VLANs for match operations, separate from public fan traffic, with documented QoS policies.
