Windstream (NASDAQ:WIN), a leading provider of advanced network
communications, today announced that the Pittsburgh Steelers
continue their long-standing relationship with the company to
provide services that will meet the team’s demands for
communication line assignment and coordination during events and
during the season for various media organizations that broadcast
the games.
The Pittsburgh Steelers have the distinction of being the
seventh-oldest and one of the most successful franchises in the
NFL. Founded in the early 1920s and eventually becoming the
Pittsburgh Steelers in 1933, the franchise takes pride in being the
only team to win six Super Bowl Championships. For the past 23
years of that illustrious history, the Steelers have counted on
Windstream for a variety of services from basic business lines to
data connections, point-to-point access and Ethernet
connectivity.
“In a 24x7 world of information, fans demand access to the
latest information about the team—from replays to in-depth
analysis—allowing no room for failure,” said Scott Phelps, vice
president of technology, Pittsburgh Steelers. “To ensure this type
of reliability, we entrust Windstream with the unique challenge of
keeping an accurate inventory of lines to be assigned on demand and
for games during the football season in various areas of Heinz
Field, including technicians scheduled to be on site during events
and games. We couldn’t be more pleased with Windstream’s continuous
communication and technical support.”
Windstream’s commitment to the Steelers includes in-depth
quarterly business reviews with the team’s operations and IT staff
to identify their level of satisfaction with Windstream support, as
well as reviewing their products and services for potential
upgrades and renewal opportunities.
“Windstream values our relationship with the Steelers and being
a part of their long history of success,” said Joseph Harding,
executive vice president and chief marketing officer for the Cloud
& Connectivity business unit at Windstream. “By leveraging our
robust metro-fiber assets to support the Steelers’ data transport
needs, they can continue to focus on what they do best—winning
games and keeping their loyal fans happy.”
