What TSG does
TSG (Technical Services Group Pty Ltd) is a privately held Australian company founded in 2010 that specializes in designing, deploying, and managing temporary and permanent public WiFi and event-technology infrastructure. The company's portfolio spans scalable WiFi deployments supporting between 60 and 60,000 users, with a custom event point-of-sale application called eventPOS that powers cashless bar and merchandise transactions via WiFi-enabled EFTPOS terminals. Complementary products include the Hotspot and Footfall Analytics platform (collecting unique visitor counts, visit frequency, and dwell time), the Livecount real-time occupancy and people-counting system, and high-definition temporary PTZ CCTV with remote monitoring and footage archival. Integration partnerships with Culture Counts for venue evaluation and Commonwealth Bank for cashless payments extend the platform into adjacent analytics and payments rails.
The business operates a managed-services and project-based revenue model combining short-term event WiFi and EFTPOS rental, permanent WiFi installations for venues and public spaces, hardware rental, and recurring analytics/reporting fees. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. TSG sells directly to event organizers and promoters, venue operators, and local and state government councils, with named engagements including the AC/DC Rock or Bust Tour, Night Noodle Markets under a multi-year Fairfax Events agreement, Caloundra Music Festival for Sunshine Coast Council, Origin NYE, and the Elizabeth Quay waterfront precinct for the Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority. The company is headquartered in Perth and advertises nationwide Australian coverage, with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, or external funding rounds in the available material.

TSG competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- CrowdConnected: UK-based provider of temporary event WiFi, wayfinding, and real-time location analytics for festivals and venues. Closest international analogue to TSG's temporary connectivity + analytics offering, though TSG is more vertically integrated with proprietary payment tech (eventPOS).
- Integrated Wireless: Australian-headquartered provider of temporary and permanent wireless solutions for events, mining, and construction. Most direct in-market competitor to TSG, operating in the same geographic footprint with a comparable temporary-WiFi focus.
Emerging players
- Zenus Biometrics: Provider of anonymous people-counting and occupancy analytics using facial detection at events. Overlaps with TSG's Livecount people-counting module, particularly for venues needing capacity-compliance monitoring.
- Purple WiFi: Cloud-based guest WiFi and visitor analytics platform used by venues and retailers to capture footfall and demographic data. Directly comparable to TSG's Hotspot and Footfall Analytics module, though Purple is software-only and does not deploy hardware.
Regional players
- Tyro Payments: Australian EFTPOS provider serving SMEs and event-based merchants. Comparable to TSG's Event EFTPOS Hire line, though Tyro focuses on permanent merchant acquiring while TSG focuses on short-term event terminal rentals.
Broad incumbents
- Bizzabo: Global event experience platform offering registration, networking, and event apps for large conferences and festivals. Adjacent rather than direct — competes for event-tech budget but focuses on attendee-facing software rather than on-site infrastructure.
- Cvent: Large US-based event management software company serving enterprise meetings and events. Competes for the same customer wallet (event organizers and corporate event teams) though primarily at the planning/registration layer rather than on-site connectivity.
- Aruba Networks (HPE): Enterprise WiFi vendor with venue-grade products commonly used for permanent venue deployments and large temporary events. Competes indirectly through channel partners that deliver the same connectivity layer TSG builds bespoke for each event.
- Cisco (Meraki): Global networking incumbent whose Meraki cloud-managed WiFi portfolio is widely deployed at venues and events. Provides the underlying hardware layer that TSG integrates but does not manufacture, and competes at the high end of large permanent installations.
Others
- Ubiquiti: Low-cost enterprise networking equipment vendor whose UniFi line of WiFi access points is commonly purchased by venues running their own in-house networks. An adjacent supplier/competitor to TSG's permanent WiFi install business.
