Vodafone Portugal and SIBS are testing 5G Standalone technology to guarantee fast, reliable card payments at the Vodafone Paredes de Coura festival.
Network Slicing Prevents Payment Delays
Over 250 payment terminals at the venue run on a dedicated "slice" of Vodafone’s 5G Standalone network. This keeps payment traffic separate from everyday phone use, preventing network overloads in crowded areas.
By reserving network bandwidth for card transactions, merchants and festivalgoers avoid payment delays during peak hours. IT professionals and managers interested in regional business infrastructure can browse featured tech companies.
Reliable Tech for Large Events
This project is one of Portugal's first uses of 5G network slicing for event payments, building on earlier 5G tests used for live TV broadcasts.
The pilot highlights how Vodafone SIBS 5G electronic payments improve reliability, expanding possibilities for 5G Standalone cashless payments Portugal and setting a model for music festival digital payment infrastructure.
