CoreGo and technology house Digita have entered a long-term contract regarding a data transfer service for events, which is implemented with a mobile private network solution. Private network replaces WiFi in data communications solutions as a private network is reliable and lighter to implement and provides better performance.
In 2023, CoreGo and Digita piloted a private network solution at two major festivals, one of which was Qstock. The solution was deemed to be a functioning one. It will now be used at a number of events where sales at the time of the event are business critical for the organizer. A smooth and functional service is also essential for creating an excellent guest experience.
“Fast and 100% reliable data communications are vital for the financial success of and guest experience at an event the size of Qstock. Even a small disruption in the functionality of the sales points is immediately visible as long lines and lower sales. We have seen that CoreGo and Digita’s solution is of superb quality, and we are confidently looking forward to next summer’s festivals,” says Jouni Loponen, the CEO of Qstock.

“We have been searching for a functioning solution for a couple of years, and Digita provides us with an independent way of working and the necessary consultation when we need it. Last year’s experience exceeded our expectations. In the coming summer, we will operate on 4G and/or 5G networks, depending on the location,” explains Hannu Elomaa, the CEO and founder of CoreGo.
“It was a very positive surprise to us that the private network solution was created for this exact purpose. It redeemed its promise during the pilot. The network can be implemented with light construction, yet it worked well, had good reception and enabled reliable and disturbance-free connections. It is great to be able to secure a business-critical payment service for an event organizer and to increase satisfaction with the overall experience,” says Henri Viljasjärvi, the Director of Business Development at Digita. The private network is easy to set up and move to the following event.
Payment devices need network in order to process payment data.
Private networks are an entirely new way of enabling critical and reliable wireless data transfer for businesses and the public sector. A private network is a local 4G or 5G network tailored for an organization’s specific needs. The benefits of a private network include strong data security, reliability and predictable performance.
