What does it take to deliver secure, reliable Wi-Fi connectivity to tens of thousands of NFL fans in-stadium on game day? How about delivering the same Wi-Fi network to support one of the biggest games on the sports calendar, the Super Bowl? The answer: it isn’t easy, but in today’s mobile-centric world Wi-Fi isn’t optional.
Not only does a Wi-Fi network need to meet the requirements of today’s mobile-centric users, it also provides a platform to support and enable the key business initiatives of an organization. The physical characteristics of each stadium are unique, so the Wi-Fi network that supports it must be unique as well.
How are these goals met? How is a high-density Wi-Fi network built to support the Super Bowl?
