Professional temporary event internet for South African events
Whether you are planning construction site launches or a national temporary exhibition halls, MagNet Events brings bonded temporary internet — not a consumer router in a tent. We serve production companies and venue managers who need guaranteed connectivity when venue DSL fails, GSM towers congest, or Eskom load shedding strikes mid-event.
- Turnkey temporary WAN — we bring uplinks, not just access points
- Works when venue fibre is oversubscribed or not yet live on a new build
- Encrypted guest network separated from production VLAN for cashless POS and ticketing
- National logistics — Johannesburg hub, Cape Town and Durban stock

Yes. Multi-day festivals and corporate keynotes include optional on-site network engineers. All packages include remote NOC monitoring.
