Sam Wolters, Mission Coordinator for G4S Drone Services, led a high-stakes security operation at a music festival in Belgium, overseeing 80,000 attendees. Using two Elistair Safe-T 2 tether stations with DJI M300 drones, his team provided continuous aerial surveillance, covering both the festival grounds and camping areas. Operating at heights of up to 90 meters, the system ensured uninterrupted monitoring from day into night.
In an interview, Sam highlights the advantages of tethered drone operations, including rapid deployment within 10 minutes and seamless transitions between thermal and zoom imaging. Coordinating with the event control center, which included police and medical teams, the drones played a key role in managing crowd movement, medical emergencies, and security responses.
With its reliability and efficiency, the Elistair Safe-T 2 tether station proved to be the ideal choice for large-scale event security, offering enhanced situational awareness and rapid adaptability in a dynamic environment.
