Event Internet Solutions: Adding a COW to your Your Guest List

Inviting a 'COW' as part of your guest list only makes sense in telecom lingo. COWs, or 'Cellular Sites on Wheels', are the pinnacle of event internet solutions, providing innovative short-term 'hotspot' capabilities that ensure everyone stays connected with high-speed data at your event. Whether live streaming a wedding or sharing concert videos directly from a mobile phone, COWs are becoming widely recognized as crucial temporary 'moobile' internet stations.

By utilizing COWs as a cutting-edge event internet solution for event planners, festival attendees, sports fans, journalists, and even those in disaster-stricken areas, ISPs like Neteo and Rango are efficiently catering to temporary data needs by providing reliable and rapid high-speed data connections.

We know you have questions. Here are some answers: 

What are Cellular Sites on Wheels (COW's)?

COWs are portable, mobile cell towers mounted on trailers or trucks, complete with all necessary networking equipment—antennas, routers, transceivers, and power sources. These mobile internet stations can be swiftly deployed to specific locations as a event internet solution, offering high-speed data connectivity to support any event.

(In 2014, Glastonbury event coordinators collaborated with a local artist to transform life-size fiberglass cows into WiFi hotspots, taking "mobile internet" to a literal level.)

#2 Why Event Planners Love COWs

Thanks to their reliable connectivity, COWs allow planners to ensure consistent high-speed data coverage throughout an event—a significant attraction for attendees.

Customizable coverage lets COWs be strategically positioned to provide targeted data coverage, optimizing usage and enhancing guest experiences. Their quick deployment and easy setup enable event planners to focus more on the event itself while leaving the temporary data connectivity in capable hands.

Key reasons why COWs are indispensable as event internet solutions include:

  • Flexibility and Mobility: Easily transported to event locations, providing seamless high-speed data coverage to large groups.
  • Handling Peak Demand: Capable of managing data surges during events, preventing network congestion.
  • Practical for Temporary Events: More cost-effective than investing in permanent infrastructure, making COWs perfect for temporary settings.
  • Short-Term Internet for Disaster areas? 

    In the wake of natural disasters, when telecommunications infrastructure may be compromised, COWs provide quick and effective event internet solutions to restore communication services, aid in rescue and relief operations, and keep communities connected.

    This temporary high-speed internet service offers a crucial lifeline until permanent repairs can be made.

    Security and Privacy Concerns.

    With advanced encryption protocols, data transmitted over COWs is secure and protected. Access to the COW network is strictly controlled and authenticated, ensuring that sensitive information remains secure and unauthorized usage is prevented.
