Battery powered · 10 years on showgrounds

Temporary Wi-Fi built around your showground.

Gates, the secretary’s office, scanners and card machines all need to be online in a field. We design, install, monitor and remove a temporary network that keeps them working.

What it covers

Temporary Wi-Fi for agricultural shows.

The network is designed around the operational parts of the ground first — entrance gates, the secretary’s office or tent, ticket scanners and card machines. Trader Wi-Fi can be supplied as well if the show wants it.

Showgrounds are not buildings. Fields have no mains, layouts move between years, and the parts that matter most — gates and the secretary’s office — are often the furthest from anything useful. We have been working on grounds like that for around ten years, so the network is designed for the site rather than dropped onto it.

How it works

Step by step, start to finish.

1 · PLAN
We review your site plan and you tell us which areas need connectivity.
2 · DESIGN
The network is designed around the ground, not dropped on top of it.
3 · INSTALL
Installation normally one or two days before the show, then tested.
4 · SHOW DAY
We monitor the network, and can move or adjust equipment if the ground changes.
5 · DERIG
The network is dismantled once the show is finished.
On the ground

What we have actually done.

01

There is no limit on areas or devices — we plan the network around your ground and add Wi-Fi points wherever they are needed.

02

Networks run 24–36 hours on battery power where there is no mains, installed and tested a day or two before the show.

03

Multiple independent connections mean one failure does not take your gates offline — roughly ten years of showground work sits behind the design.

Most asked

The questions that come up most.

What if the showground has no mains power?

The full temporary network can run on battery power, typically 24–36 hours per deployment.

What happens if a connection drops mid-show?

Multiple independent units and connections mean another carries on while we investigate and repair it.

What do you need from us to plan it?

A site plan where possible unless we already know the ground, plus a clear picture of which areas need Wi-Fi.

How far ahead should we book?

Most shows book at the start of the season. Showground weekends fill up quickly, so the earlier you are in touch, the easier it is to secure your date.
