July 11 2017 - 7:00AM
Tottenham Hotspur today announced it has selected Hewlett Packard
Enterprise (NYSE:HPE) as its official IT networking and Wireless
Infrastructure Partner. The Club is currently building a new,
world-class stadium in London. Set to open in 2018, it will be one
of the most technologically advanced stadia ever built, delivering
an enhanced event day experience for all visitors.
The new state-of-the-art venue will be the largest football club
stadium in London, with a capacity of 61,559 and will also host
other major sport and entertainment events such as NFL games and
concerts. Since planning for the new stadium began, the Club has
been committed to driving innovation and using modern technology to
enhance the in-venue experience for every visitor. As a result, the
stadium’s IT infrastructure is being incorporated from the ground
up, enabling connectivity across the entire venue for visitors and
flexibility to cater to future demands. The Club is installing
Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company, networking solutions,
with support from HPE’s Pointnext services organisation, to meet
its current and future technology demands.
Sanjeev Katwa, Head of Technology, Tottenham Hotspur, said:
“Creating a technology infrastructure to support an enhanced
visitor experience requires solutions that can meet the growing
demands of visitors that come to our new stadium. We believe
Hewlett Packard Enterprise can support us on the journey in
building one of the most technologically advanced stadiums in the
world.”
Marc Waters, MD, U.K. and Ireland, HPE said: “Tottenham Hotspur
realise that being digital from the ground up is imperative to
transform its fan experience. We are thrilled to support Tottenham
Hotspur in this journey, using our intelligent edge solutions and
Pointnext expertise to help build the foundation for a truly
digital stadium. Our partnership with the Club will help enable
future innovation and the ability to provide an enriched, unique
environment for stadium visitors.”
