806/5000 120,000 visitors. More than 30 attractions at the same time. 60 performers from all over Europe. 28 artists including singers, DJs and comedians and over 450 staff. Saturday 7 July the city of Genoa was colored yellow and blue for the Costa Zena Festival , the extraordinary summer event with which Costa Crociere celebrated its 70th anniversary. A great success that saw Realize Networks as Official Event Organizer, ATS responsible for security and TWOWAY as technical support for radio communications, for a project that has garnered the result of months of work and that has involved its entire team, thus crowning the now three-year partnership with the most loved Italian shipping company. For a day the city of Genoa has turned into a real ship, offering participants the attractions, fun and excitement of a Costa cruise. Via XX Settembre welcomed a 340-meter-long inflatable water slide that saw more than 5,000 participants throughout the day, with waiting queues of up to 4 hours. Piazza De Ferrari instead hosted a solarium around its famous fountain for a moment of relaxation, while the Radio 105 truck animated the entire square with live music and entertainment. Guided by a Gran Pavese of 1,840 flags (winner of the Guinness World Record), visitors could then move to Piazza Matteotti, for a street music show. There was no shortage of attractions for the smaller Peppa Pig and PJ Masks, idols of the moment.

On the occasion of the event 3 omnidirectional antennas and a total of 10 repeater bridges were installed on the Grimaldina Tower. An analogue transmission system designed to cover the entire city and to guarantee a reliable service and clear communications between operators.

In addition, 100 Motorola DP1400 Portable Radios and two fixed stations for the GOS were provided.
