 Discussion of private networks, based on shared CBRS spectrum, often focuses on manufacturing, logistics, education and transport sectors. But another important and sometimes overlooked domain is for live events, especially those operating on a temporary or “pop-up” basis. 

While there is rightly a lot of attention on top-tier events and premier sports venues for CBRS, such as NFL games, it is also worth considering the opportunities for running private networks at the many smaller locations and lower-profile in-person venues. 

Music festivals, agricultural fairs, lower-tier sports events, community or religious celebrations, political rallies, seasonal parades, business conventions and many other types of temporary gathering all have important needs for enhanced communications. 

With better connectivity, organizers can benefit from better safety, lower running costs and new business opportunities. These events can also add significantly to local economic development and regional growth or renewal, involving municipalities, local businesses and other groups.
