During big concert events, the use of cell phones can be overwhelming. Whether people are just calling around to find each other, or are using mobile internet to upload pictures and videos, the use of cell phones is a given at any big event. When so many people use their cell phones at once, it can often slow down service and make it difficult to find reception.
Spokesperson for Verizon Wireless in Kansas and Missouri, Brenda Hill, says there will be a special generator site at Country Stampede to avoid this problem. She describes it as a fully functional, generator-powered mobile cell site. The Cell on Wheels is also called a COW.
Hill indicates the main goal of this device is to provide the same reliable cell service that Verizon customers have everyday and she says the COW will hopefully prevent any cell user from having problems.
