Temporary CCTV & connectivity
for Regent Street's festive mile.
Keeping one of London’s busiest festive events safe, connected & operational.
Temporary CCTV & event connectivity that kept one of London’s busiest festive events safe, secure and operational.
Overview.
Every year, Regent Street closes to traffic and transforms into the Festive Mile, welcoming more than 100,000 visitors to one of London’s best known seasonal events.
To keep an event of this scale running safely, organisers needed more than temporary infrastructure. They needed a resilient CCTV and connectivity solution that could be installed rapidly, operate flawlessly and provide complete confidence throughout the event.
Objective.
To design and deploy a temporary CCTV and connectivity network capable of supporting real-time monitoring, secure communications and operational oversight across a complex city-centre environment.
The solution needed to install quickly with minimal disruption, deliver uninterrupted performance and provide the reliability of a permanent network within a temporary event setting.
Experience.
We designed and deployed a fully integrated temporary CCTV and connectivity solution tailored to the unique demands of the Festive Mile.
The installation included a secure temporary CCTV network, dedicated control room WiFi, resilient VPN connectivity and interference-free wireless links, all operating through a single LAN architecture. Despite the complexity of the environment, the entire system was designed, installed and fully commissioned in just five hours, minimising disruption while ensuring every element was ready before visitors arrived.
This included:
- Comprehensive CCTV coverage
- Seamless network performance across multiple observation points
- Fast deployment, with minimal disruption to event setup
- Reliable connectivity for monitoring and control
- Secure, resilient access back to control infrastructure
Impact &
outcome.
More than 100,000 visitors were supported throughout the event with 100% network uptime, secure CCTV coverage and continuous 24/7 monitoring across key operational areas.
- Rapid, city-wide CCTV coverage deployed in hours
- Secure, seamless performance over a unified network
- High-quality visibility and monitoring throughout Regent Street
- Interference-free operation despite dense RF & crowd conditions
- Reliable control room WiFi for event operators
The technology performed with the reliability of a permanent installation despite being deployed on a temporary schedule, giving event organisers complete confidence in their visibility, operational communications and event safety throughout the Festive Mile.
This project was delivered by our group partner, Noba. See the original case study.
