Touchdown Kelowna Festival – Temporary Event Network at the Apple Bowl
Built the temporary network backbone for Touchdown Kelowna Festival, supporting BC Lions game-day broadcast operations, ticketing, vendor POS traffic, and festival connectivity across the Apple Bowl site.
Location: Kelowna, BC
Challenge: The event footprint stretched across grandstands, gates, vendor zones, broadcast areas, and guest pathways. The network had to support customer-supplied gear, avoid trip hazards, and still be easy to remove after the festival window closed.
Solution: Simply Telecom established a command centre in the broadcast booth, extended fibre under the field to distribution points behind the grandstands, ran labelled structured cabling throughout the site, and used point-to-point wireless links where physical cable paths would have crossed guest foot traffic.
Outcome: Every cable, fibre run, and connection was tested to support dependable broadcast, POS, ticketing, and event operations across the full festival footprint.
