Optimizing on-demand coverage at events

A method for optimizing on-demand coverage at one or more coverage locations, the method comprising:

• receiving a first set of data identifying a number of users needing coverage at a first coverage location of the plurality of coverage locations during a first event;
• determining whether the number of users needing coverage at the first coverage location of the plurality of event locations exceeds a predetermined capacity threshold for the first event location for the first event;
• and
• based on determining that the number of users needing coverage at the first coverage location of the plurality of event locations exceeds the predetermined capacity threshold for the first event, direct the controller to assign at least one additional baseband to the first coverage location for the first event.

A system for optimizing on-demand coverage at one or more coverage locations, the system comprising:

• a plurality of coverage locations;
• a centralized location comprising a plurality of basebands and at least one controller;
• a plurality of fiber cables extending from the centralized location to a plurality of coverage locations;
• one or more processors configured to perform operations comprising:
• determining a schedule of events to take place at a plurality of coverage locations;
• assigning at least one baseband to each coverage location for each event scheduled;
• receiving a first set of data identifying a number of users needing coverage at a first coverage location during a first event;
• analyzing the first set of data to determine whether the number of users needing coverage at the first coverage location exceeds a predetermined capacity for the first coverage location for the first event;
• receiving a second set of data identifying a number of users needing coverage at a second coverage location during a second event;
• analyzing the second set of data to determine whether the number of users needing coverage at the second coverage location exceeds a predetermined capacity for the second coverage location for the second event;
• determining that the number of users needing coverage at the first coverage location exceeds the predetermined capacity for the first coverage location;
• determining that the number of users needing coverage at the second coverage location is less than the predetermined capacity for the second coverage location;
• and
• re-directing at least a portion of coverage from at least one baseband assigned to the second coverage location to the first coverage location.
