Why does police limit reception at large event entrances
Why do large venues throttle reception at entrances to events? Surely if it’s for an attack vector people can just use long distance radios - 5g works inside the event, so it’s probably not a technical limitation. Im at coachella, and we cant even call an uber or lyft to get out at the end of the night. Im with somebody that works in management at a large nightclub in toronto, and she said they do this also in Toronto. What is the reasoning?
It's probably just network congestion.
You can't have many APs at one place, they'd transmit over each other. In an open area like a stadium, it's easy to have multiple APs for smaller groups of people.
It's not the police, it's all the idiots running full motion video all the time to make their friends jealous.
Went to lollapalooza last summer and the 5G reception was incredible-- I raised my phone above the crowd and got mmWave 5G reception to send texts & photos. Was really nice.
Hearing that reception gets throttled is very strange to me, so I would like to know more about this as well.
