US Cellular Brings in COLT to Provide Additional Wireless Capacity at Boatnik
As the Grants Pass community prepares for the influx of visitors for the annual Boatnik Festival this weekend, US Cellular is equipped to accommodate the spike in demand for wireless access around Riverside Park.
Since many attendees will be relying on their smartphones to stay connected with family and friends, US Cellular has brought in a Cell on Light Truck -- also referred to as a COLT -- to increase wireless capacity during the festival.
The COLT provides added network capacity for the increased data usage and to support the large volume of additional phone calls and texts from attendees.
Boatnik is an annual festival held over Memorial Day Weekend in Grants Pass for more than 60 years. Admission is free and the festival offers many activities and shows for all ages. Additional activities are available for purchase including the Davis Shows Carnival, Friday Night Concert and Boatnik Brewfest.
All proceeds from the event are donated by the Grants Pass Active Club through the year to children and youth-based organizations in Josephine County. For more information and the complete Boatnik schedule, visit "boatnik.com"
