Nepal Premiere League shortly, NPL 2024 is in full swing and so is the need for connectivity. The stadium 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 reliable 4G data 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 says that out of the 13 cells, 3 are small cells in operation at 5 different spots. It also optimizes 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.

Ncell is also providing free WiFi hotspots at the TU Cricket Ground for NPL matches
Ncell has also made arrangements for fast internet via free WiFi hotspots at the TU Cricket Ground. This also allows non-Ncell users to get wireless internet on their smartphones, tablets, and laptops. All the spectators for NPL matches can get Ncell hotspots to enjoy high-speed data.
Ncell says that it has made 10 WiFi hotspots available at the TU Cricket Ground. According to the telco, they are capable enough to handle immense traffic coming from the crowds. The private telco wireless service is powered by Cisco Meraki.
The deployment of WiFi hotspots is another innovative way the telco is guaranteeing that its network performs soundly. By making WiFi services free, it’s keeping users from cellular towers to WiFi. It’s called offloading in telecommunications which means releasing possible network congestion on towers. With both cells and hotspots, Ncell can maintain a satisfying customer experience with consistent internet experience during the matches.
