The Pryor Creek Music Festival is working with Verizon Business and Celona to deploy a private 5G network for the three-day outdoor music festival Rocklahoma, self-titled as “America’s Biggest Labor Day Party,” running from September 1-3, 2023.
“Outdoor or temporary experiences like concerts, festivals and popups represent one of the fastest growing private-network environments that Verizon Business is servicing right now. Organizers need dedicated connectivity to run connected point-of-sale and event equipment, and it has to be simple to set up and use. Private wireless networks from Verizon fill these needs and help ensure event attendees, vendors and organizers alike have a smooth experience,” said Jennifer Artley, Senior Vice President, 5G Acceleration, Verizon Business.
The nearly one-million square foot location will be covered for applications such as parking, admission, and backstage facilities.
“We look forward to providing sponsors and music fans with a great experience at Rocklahoma, America’s biggest Labor Day party. Fast, stable connectivity can reduce the amount of time our attendees have to wait in line for purchases and ticket scans, which means more time to rock,” said Dave Giencke, Vice President, Pryor Creek Music Festivals.
