Client Requirements
Delivering connectivity for Brockwell Live required addressing a number of technical and operational requirements.
The festival site covers a large open area, requiring stable and consistent wireless coverage throughout. In addition, the solution needed to:
- Support high volumes of simultaneous card transactions during peak periods
- Manage multiple site-wide networks for production, vendors, security, and operations
- Operate reliably within a temporary environment with limited existing infrastructure
- Provide stable connectivity for real-time CCTV monitoring
- Function effectively within an open public environment
- Allow for adjustments to infrastructure in response to changing site conditions
These requirements needed to be delivered within a tight installation timeframe while ensuring consistent performance across the duration of the event.
Our Delivery
LetsTech implemented a robust and flexible network solution tailored to the scale and operational needs of the festival.
At the core of the deployment was a temporary fibre backbone, providing the foundation for reliable, high-speed connectivity across the site.
Building on this infrastructure, LetsTech delivered:
- Site-wide WiFi coverage through the deployment of 100 wireless access points
- Dedicated connectivity for cashless payment systems to support efficient transactions
- Secure network infrastructure for ticket scanning systems
- Connectivity for up to 30 CCTV cameras, enabling real-time monitoring
- Site-wide VoIP telephone systems, ensuring clear and reliable communication for event teams
The network was installed, configured, and tested ahead of the event, with the flexibility to adapt to on-site changes as required.
The Outcome
The solution delivered reliable connectivity across the festival site, ensuring all key systems operated effectively throughout the event.
Cashless payment terminals performed consistently during busy periods, while CCTV systems remained stable to support site security. Ticket scanning processes ran smoothly, and event teams maintained clear communication through VoIP systems.
Brockwell Live was successfully delivered with dependable network performance, demonstrating LetsTech’s ability to support large-scale live events in dynamic environments.
