Mobile cell tower for large open air events?

[CATNAP]

Hi guys - I'm helping a venue organise a large outdoor event and there is a concern that the cell reception might not be adequate to accommodate +/- 15 000 people in one place.

I have seen some of these deployed at large events:


Does anybody know who I can contact to have it set up? Do I have to contact different providers for each of the networks?

Thanx.

They call it a COW (Coverage on Wheels) - yes, each provider places one to expand their own network.

If you have MTN and Vodacom then you should be covered as Cell C and Telkom both roam on those networks respectively.

Not sure who you can contact, try maybe the Business side of each operator.
