Collaboration

On behalf of Event Engineers for Rollende Keukens in Amsterdam

For the Rollende Keukens foodtruck festival in Amsterdam, Tible built a temporary online network on behalf of Event Engineers. Behind the scenes, payment terminals, scanners, handhelds and production systems had to stay connected at all times. A major challenge, especially in a dynamic festival environment where nothing is permanent, yet everything still has to work.

Challenge

A foodtruck festival brings together many different systems. Payment terminals, handhelds, scanners, tablets and smartphones all need to maintain a continuous, secure connection.

But a traditional wifi network isn't always the best solution for this. Large festival grounds, metal foodtrucks and containers make stable wifi coverage difficult. At the same time, public mobile networks can become overloaded during busy moments due to the large number of visitors.

Our challenge was therefore to build a temporary network that offers the same reliability as a permanent IT infrastructure.

Approach

For this project, Tible designed a network in which multiple internet connections were intelligently combined using Fortigate and Peplink routers. From there, the connection was distributed locally via a Private LTE network.

Where wifi tends to struggle with metal objects and other obstacles, Private LTE actually benefits from this environment. This resulted in a stable and secure connection across the entire festival grounds.

In addition, all operational systems ran on a shielded network. This kept payment terminals, scanners and other business-critical devices securely connected to the backend systems, without depending on public mobile networks.

Result

Reliable, scalable and secure connectivity for all operational devices during the festival
Local Private LTE connectivity for optimal coverage across the festival grounds
Secure access to backend systems without unnecessary exposure to the public internet
Reduced dependency on public mobile networks during busy peak moments
A temporary solution with the reliability of a professional business infrastructure
