Temporary Wireless in Rapid City and the Black Hills
Temporary wireless in Rapid City from Brink Design: rapid-deployment WiFi for festivals and events, point-to-point links across fields, sites, and buildings, and construction site and job-trailer connectivity. Capacity is sized for the crowd and the gear is pre-configured for fast setup and clean teardown. Serving the Black Hills and western South Dakota.
Some connectivity needs are short-lived but no less demanding. Festivals, special events, and construction sites need reliable WiFi and network access on a timeline measured in days, sometimes hours. We deploy temporary wireless that stands up fast and comes down clean: point-to-point links to bridge distance where there is no wired path, access points sized for the crowd, and network gear configured before it ever reaches the site. Point-to-point wireless can carry a connection across a field, between buildings, or up to a job trailer without trenching a single cable. When the event or the project ends, the equipment comes back and is ready for the next deployment.
What is included

- Gear pre-configured for fast setup and clean teardown
How we work
Fast to stand up, clean to tear down.
Temporary deployments live or die on preparation. We plan the coverage and links ahead of time and pre-configure the gear, so setup on site is quick and the connection is solid from the first minute.
Site survey
We assess the grounds, distances, and power, and learn the expected crowd or crew size. For point-to-point links we confirm line of sight between the connection points.
System design and documentation
We design the coverage, links, and capacity for the event or project, and document the layout so setup and teardown are repeatable across deployments.
Installation
Gear arrives pre-configured. We position access points and aim point-to-point links for coverage and throughput, then verify the connection under expected load.
Commissioning and support
We confirm coverage across the site and stay reachable during the run. When it is over, the equipment comes down cleanly and is ready for the next deployment.

Common questions
What do Black Hills clients ask about temporary wireless?
- How much does event WiFi cost in Rapid City?
- It depends on attendance, area, duration, and whether an internet connection exists on site or has to be brought in. Every project is quoted after a site survey, so the number reflects the site, not a template. The survey is free and usually takes under an hour.
- How far ahead do we need to book event WiFi?
- Two to four weeks lets us survey the site, arrange internet service if none exists, and stage the gear. Shorter notice is often possible for smaller events.
- Can you get internet to a job trailer with no service?
- Yes. A point-to-point link from the nearest connected building or a cellular or satellite uplink, with WiFi in the trailer and on the site.
- Will it hold up with thousands of people on it?
- Capacity is sized for the crowd, not the acreage. Access points are placed for device density at stages, vendor areas, and entrances, and vendor point-of-sale gets its own priority network.
- Do you tear it down afterward?
- Yes. Setup and teardown are part of the job, and the gear leaves the site as clean as we found it.
- Can you link two buildings without trenching?
- Yes. Point-to-point wireless links carry a network across a road, a field, or a campus with no cable in the ground, for temporary or permanent use.
