SUNNYVALE, Calif., Oct. 10, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Ruckus
Networks, an ARRIS company, today announced that Los Angeles
Football Club (LAFC) chose its indoor and outdoor Wi-Fi access
points (APs) to provide fast, reliable connectivity in the Banc of
California Stadium.
LAFC is committed to delivering an unrivaled fan experience at
Banc of California Stadium, a world-class venue that includes a
wide variety of concessions and top-notch technology such as
wireless networking with unprecedented coverage. The Club needed
back-of-the-house networks to support ticketing at the gates, along
with point-of-sale applications and LAFC administrative
requirements, plus exceptional guest Wi-Fi.
"We wanted seamless wireless technology that would set our venue
apart from other stadiums," said Christian
Lau, Vice President of Information Technology for LAFC. "In
terms of connectivity performance, it was not an easy stadium to
design given the density of the venue and the number of required
access points, but Ruckus Networks provided the AP solutions we
needed to deliver a superior fan experience. Performance of the
wireless technology consistently meets or exceeds our
expectations."
LAFC implemented 489 Ruckus APs, including the R710 indoor AP,
designed for ultra-dense device environments like the inside
enclosure of the stadium. In the bowl of the stadium, there are 314
APs, of which 38 are the Ruckus E510 outdoor AP with its
low-profile external BeamFlex+™ antennas. This is especially
important in the end zone standing areas where a slimmer design was
necessary for safety. Rounding it out, Ruckus T610 outdoor APs were
also installed in the concourse areas.
While the seating capacity of the stadium is 22,000, the
wireless network was engineered for 70,000 users to accommodate
multi-device users. The venue's Wi-Fi has been averaging about
8,700 concurrent connections, meaning there is plenty of capacity
for additional users. On average, users are experiencing speeds of
65M, with peaks of 100M+, with an
on-field average 20M+.
"In high-density network environments like stadiums it can be
difficult to deliver a consistent Wi-Fi experience, which is now
becoming critical to fan attendance," said Bart Giordano, Senior Vice President of
Worldwide Sales, Ruckus Networks. "Working closely with the LAFC,
we were able to engineer a smooth and stable wireless
experience."
