Louder Than the Music: How Radios Made the Festival Safe
At the SunFire Music Festival, 40,000 fans danced under the lasers as bass thundered through the night.
It was beautiful, chaotic—and loud enough to shake the ground.
But amidst the flashing lights and pounding music, security teams needed to stay connected.
Yelling? Useless.
Cell phones? Jammed.
Radios? Lifesavers.
At 9:46 PM, a fan fainted near Stage 3.
The med team had to get through 6,000 people, past pyrotechnics, and under a blackout curtain.
Here’s what happened next on the CARRBORG V1 encrypted network:
-
Command Center: “Stage 3, Code Yellow. EMT inbound.”
-
Med Unit: “ETA 90 seconds. Need path cleared.”
-
Security Lead: “Units 5 and 8—form corridor through Zone C. Crowd control initiated.”
-
Stage Ops: “Drop smoke. Raise white lights. Cut bass temporarily.”
Total time from alert to aid: 2 minutes and 22 seconds.
The fan was revived. No panic. Show continued.
Security lead Alex said:
“Without CARRBORG radios, we’d be screaming into the void. These aren’t walkie talkies—they’re tactical control lines.”
