deschwah Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 Glastonbury is different to most of the other biggest festivals so the infrastructure investment is there. On most festival republic sites it isn’t and caused massive issues last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeppelin Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 I'd be surprised if the festival weren't actively encouraging traders to take card. I imagine they'll want to say "you'll be able to pay with contactless at..." beforehand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glasto, and most other festivals, don't control punter spending in this way and the traders all provide their own merchant services. And the boomtown system doesn't need constant fast WiFi anyway as long as the NFC devices link up to the "home" every so often. * *The boomtown system is still shit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd just assess the situation based on how I felt. yeah your right , if there were no tests i still wouldnt have gone as i could barely walk up and down my stairs haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junglist1981 Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 I reckon most traders will chose to offer card off their own back anyway as it's much easier not having to deal with cash. The festival won't push them either way, they don't need to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are staff/infrastructure site wide wireless networks and literally an EE 4G/5G mast on site I think they have 5 or 6 temporary mast onsite plus on permanent one. I think they also have microwave links between the towers and then the the fibre backhaul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sometimes see them up on cherry-pickers. Fun-fact, the glastonbury site has been used for some EE 5G trials a few years ago. My company were involved but sadly I wasn't able to ingratiate myself into the project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jefwefwef Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 Glastonbury actually had one of the first big 5g networks in 2019 and it was top10 in terms of cities in the country while the festival was on in terms of data transit thru the network. 2022 can only be busier in terms of data: more ppl on insta, more ppl on tiktok (although god knows why at glastonbury, but they will be). On an unrelated note, I'm making great progress on my custom site map for festifood. I'll probably have some nice new cartography to show off within a week or so, once I've finessed the styling. 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
