Nepal Premiere League shortly known as NPL 2024 is in full swing and so is the need for connectivity. The ground is attracting 20,000 crowds each match and they need consistent data to stay connected to share details from the match and post their presence to their family and friends. Private telco Ncell has taken it up its sleeve to address the need for high-quality internet service at the TU Cricket Ground to assure everyone that they get reliable 4G data service on their mobile phones. To illustrate, the company is using small cells for 4G and also providing free WiFi hotspots for all including non-Ncell users to get online.
Ncell says that it has been using a total of 13 cells in the TU Cricket Ground area to provide fast and reliable data services. The private telco has shared that out of the 13 cells, it has installed 3 small cells in 5 different spots and is optimizing the traffic in real-time to ensure everyone gets the best data experience at the popular cricketing venue.
The idea behind such a dedicated cellular deployment is to ensure NPL visitors won’t witness network disruption. When a place is crowded, cellular services become suspicious to deliver at its optimum. That is because base stations can’t address the connectivity for all users at the same time. This is when small cells come into play. They offer an excellent replacement for the large towers and provide network coverage in such situations.
The telco had been preparing for the setup of its cellular infrastructure on the ground for some time. The TU Cricket Ground went under renovation right till the last day before the start of the inaugural NPL season. So, Ncell has remained active in observing traffic patterns and continues to make necessary adjustments. Its objective? To ensure exceptional customer satisfaction for network and data services.
Besides providing fast data services via its 4G and WiFi services, Ncell has also launched the NPL Fan Pack for NPL fans to stream matches online. It’s also a powered-by partner of CAN for NPL. Regarding streaming, find out how you can watch NPL 2024 matches online in Nepal and India.
