Operational Impact
The implementation of the technology solutions resulted in a significant increase in operational efficiency for AMBSE. The interconnected, centrally managed traffic, gate, security, and concession management systems streamlined operations and improved the overall fan experience. The PON system not only provided nearly unlimited bandwidth but also reduced the stadium's environmental footprint by providing power and cooling savings. The HD Wi-Fi network enhanced the in-game experience for fans and provided AMBSE with additional media capabilities to boost stadium revenue. The analytics-driven traffic, gate, and concessions management also helped reduce the hassles that could potentially ruin a fan's experience. | |
