Networks for public parks are typically designed around public safety and the availability of cellular service; first responder access is important (e.g. in the context of E911). For data and multimedia services, users will typically utilize their smartphones and 4G/LTE cellular connections; however, in some instances, Wi‐Fi is available, as in the latter case, and is employed to move users toward food and merchandize concessions, or for geo‐fencing applications. A target of one million connections per square kilometer (also definable as 1 connection per m² or 1 connection every 10 ft²) has been suggested by some researchers [2]. Open air gathering tends to be more “pop up” operations with short‐lived operational timeframes; however, the density could be high, even multiple individuals (say 2–3) every 10 ft². Requirements include high‐capacity data and video access, and perhaps video surveillance.

A lower target seems appropriate for amusement parks, given that people go to these parks (usually with high entrance fees) for entertainment and less for spending time on personal communication devices. There are about 430 parks and amusement parks in the United States; Table 1.6 identifies the 10 top parks.
