Starlink at BBC Big Weekend
01.06.2024
Setting up satellite internet in a field - all in a day’s work
It’s festival season! Including for us at Blagdon IT. We’ve been hard at work though, rather than catching any performances.
One of our interesting jobs recently was managing a Starlink satellite internet connection for a longstanding client at the BBC’s Big Weekend. Reliable internet is a must - no matter the location and mobile network data is not reliable with very large crowds. From sourcing all the equipment to setting everything up on site, we managed the whole job.
Next up, we’ll be getting this working at Glastonbury Festival, Latitude Festival, the British F1 Grand Prix at Silverstone and lots of others over the summer.
“It’s always great when we get a client request that’s a little unusual. We help our clients set up what they need no matter the location” Andrew, owner of Blagdon IT, said. “We like to work closely with our clients to find and implement a solution. Plus, it’s good to have some new challenges to sink our teeth into.”
Blagdon IT offers a variety of different services - even if those services need to be bespoke. You can be sure of speaking with someone who is helpful and approachable, as well as knowledgeable, when you give us a call. Get in touch and find out how we can help you deliver what you need this summer.
