They have this figured out in Austin for huge events such as ACL. Temporary towers erected in the correct locations can easily handle the extra load with proper planning. I went two years ago and had absolutely no issue with LTE or service
- germanier 9y agoThe better (read: twice as expensive) provider in Germany does that as well and I rarely have a problem even in crowded events (haven't tried at Oktoberfest). To be precise for well-known large events all networks erect temporary towers but inferior ones cheap out on capacity. On the other hand, Oktoberfest has an order of magnitude more visitors than ACL in a very small area. Probably physics will limit what you can do.
- mschuster91 9y agoYeah. A single beer tent can pack well over 10k people - the optimal solution would be a set of antennas per tent but people don't like seeing antennas, so the operators put their COWs in the "backstage" areas, thus limiting range.
